I assume that you had one primary and an extended partion on each
drive and that the extended was divided into two pieces.  That is
what I had on my MS version of 3.30 and is the only way possible in
my version of FDISK.  If NEC had modified FDISK, all bets are off.

DOS 5.0 has a section explaining how drives are assigned letters.  It
is how your drives were assigned.  MS DOS 3.30 used the same rules but,
once again, if NEC changed things, all bets are off.

I had the same setup (DOS 3.3, two 66MB drives) and had absolutely no
problems.
