[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] External Floppies on A3000

gdunlap@csuchico.edu (A3000-owner wanna-be) (05/04/90)

     This is probably a dumb question, but here goes: if you only have one
_internal_ floppy drive inside the A3000, but add an external one, will the
external drive become "DF2:" (leaving a "hole" - no "DF1:" - as in the A2x00),
or is the A3000 smart enough to call this "DF1:" anyway? Just curious.

Just like the A2000 - silly but it works, eh?
