floppy drive letters

commodore

Hey all,

How is the letter assigned to the floppy drive?

and on the practice exam, question #16.. what's a CTR monitor? or is this just a typo meaning a CRT?

kind regards
commodore

Drive letters are assigned alphabetical order.
CTR? Must be a typo being CRT.

Webmaster

Yep, that was a typo indeed, thanks for mentioning. Corrected.

Like Cross said, drive letters are assigned alphabetical order, the first floppy drive would be a:, the second b:
Often you can swap the a: and b: in the CMOS settings.

drive letters a: and b: are reserved for floppy drives. the position on the floppy cable dictates the drive letter.

commodore

The cable!!

Thanks for clearing that up Bellboy,
