Maybe I've missed something in my manuals or in other discussions.  I seem
to remember recently reading about the jumper (J301, I think) that is located
under the internal disk connector being used to make the external drive respond
as DF1:.
What I have is an A2000 w/ 1 internal and 1 external drive.  The external
drive thinks it is DF2:.  Running the version of AssingDev that I have to
make DF1: doesn't seem to make some programs happy. (Format comes to mind).
Is there a hardware way (i.e. by setting jumpers somewhere) to make the
external drive think it is DF1:?
Thanks in advance for any help.
