There was also SUBST what would let you play some games. A friend of mine
had a trick where he could reverse two drives, or some such. It was
undocumented, but it let him boot from C:, mount D: as a network drive, then
swap the two.

The MS-DOS ASSIGN command let you assign a drive letter for a drive, sort

* Old computing resources for business and academia at The Assign command works wonders in cases like
these. Unfortunately
MicroSoulth dropped it from their later versions of DOS. Still you can
probaly use a copy from an older DOS and use other DOS cammand (that I
can't think of the name of) to fake it into thinking that it's running
under it's native DOS version.
Could you be thinking of 'setver' (or was it called something else?)
