Barbara,

The beginning drive letter for your cd-roms is set in your MSCDEX line
in your autoexec.bat.  Although, since we are talking DRDOS it isn't
MSCDEX, but rather Nxxdex :-)  I don't remember what they call it
exactly :-)  SO even if you have a few drives or logical drives missing,
it always starts lettering the cd-roms form the same letter.
