Not tried with 2 internal, but tried on a machine with internal a:, and 
the usb drive showed up as b:, I would guess as it's a USB device, that 
it will just show up on the next available drive letter (or the one you 
assign it if using 2K/XP/2K3).

Remember of course tho that it is a USB device, so stuff that tries to 
talk low level to the floppy won't work talking to a USB floppy.

I'll see if I can borrow the drive tomorrow, then I can test at home on 
a machine with 2 floppies (1.44+1.2).

Phill.
