We have an IBM ThinkPad 755Cs running IBM PC-DOS 6.3.  It has an
IBM PCMCIA Ethernet (10Base-T) card.  We sometimes run it as a
networked workstation talking to our Novell NetWare 3.11 server.
We use the ODI stack with NETx.  Despite the fact that I have a
LASTDRIVE=E statement in the CONFIG.SYS file, when I load up the
ODI stack, it insists on seeing drive H: (instead of drive F:) as
the first network drive when it attaches to our server.  This is
a minor annoyance (everyone around here is used to drive F: being
the first network drive), but if anyone can suggest a fix so that
it will see drive F: as the first network drive as our MS-DOS
machines do, it would be much appreciated.
