Which were DJ and which       were DK? Which ones were “removable” disks, and which ones were       “cartridge” disks? Why did DX floppy drives become DY just because of       the double density or double sides (I forget which now)? How did they       pick letters for DM, DR, DU drives etc? Didn’t all the model numbers       begin with R, anyway?              Lawrence       still trying to figure out why some USB-serial devices appear on Linux       as ttyUSB, and others as ttyACM              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
