MPCS AND 25-1087 EXTERNAL 5 1/4" FLOPPY DRIVE

The 25-1087 External Floppy Drive, which connects to the printer
port of our computers, uses a loadable driver that assigns the
next available drive letter to the external drive.  When run on
one of our MPCs, this results in both the external floppy and
the internal CD-ROM drive having the same drive letter
designation (D).

Fortunately, there is a very easy cure to the problem.  In the
Program Manager section of Windows, click on the "Find CD" icon
in the demo group.  This will cause the system to change all its
CD-ROM drive references to a new drive letter (E).  From this
point on, the system should work correctly.
