On systems with a single floppy, drives A: and B: were two logical drives mapped to the same physical drive. This enabled you to (tediously) copy files from one diskette to another.
- dmurray 10mo agoI don't recall this, and I do recall running something like "diskcopy A: A:" to do that operation.
- pxx 10mo agophantom drive B is explicitly mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment#Order_of_assignment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_letter_assignment#Order_... the linked source checks out. diskcopy will also do this for you if you give it source = dest.
