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.
