On SOME systems, you could substitute
DRIVPARM = /D:1 /F:2 for similar effect.
Same switches as DRIVER.SYS.
EXCEPT, DRIVPARM would alter the parameters for existing drive letter,
NOT create a new drive letter.? See also, LASTDRIVE
(With 4 floppies, CD-ROM(s), HDD(s), parallel port drive(s),
Floptical(s) on SCSI, RAMDISK(s), etc., didn't want to waste drive letters)
IIRC, in xDOS 3.2 and 3.3 DRIVPARM produced an error if specified as
usual, but when DRIVPARM was suffixed by a string of three contorl-A
(hex 01h) characters, it worked fine.
Good ol' DOS arcana.
