Hi,
        I have a strange occurrance on my machine, and was wondering if
anyone could explain it.  I recently installed an internal ATAPI zip
drive onto the secondary slave position on a home brew with a 1.2 gig HD
on primary master and a 24x CD on secondary master.  I disabled the zip
drive in the bios per instructions even though my bios correctly detects
it as an ATAPI device and shows it on the system list right before the
OS starts as on the secondary slave.  Here is the strange part.  Windows
95 shows it as the D: and the cdrom as the E:.  They both work fine.
Why is this?

TIA
Donald Gaither
