[comp.sys.amiga] My programs don't like my devices...

tope@enea.se (Tommy Petersson) (06/15/88)

I have an Amiga 2000 with one internal and one external floppy drive
plus a Rodime SCSI hard disk. The hard disk automatically gets the
name dh2: and the external floppy gets the name df2:.

This sometimes creates problems not so easily avoided. Some programs
don't find/like df2: if you don't have df1: Sometimes a simple
assign df1: df2: may help, but sometimes there's problems.

I don't have the program assigndev (no direct access to Fish disks),
so the assign is done to the disk currently in df2:. Could somebody
email me the program, please?

Some two-diskette games are so packed, that you really can't add
the assign command, and it's not so funny editing original disks.
Are there any other solutions ? (hardware strapping, preboot with
some sort of assigndev that stays in the memory after warm reboot)
