Drive letters
=============

   The meaning of the drive letters depends on the target architectures.
However, on most target architectures, drive A is the first floppy
drive, drive B is the second floppy drive (if available), drive J is a
Jaz drive (if available), and drive Z is a Zip drive (if available).  On
those systems where the device name is derived from the SCSI id, the Jaz
drive is assumed to be at Scsi target 4, and the Zip at Scsi target 5
(factory default settings).  On Linux, both drives are assumed to be the
second drive on the Scsi bus (/dev/sdb). The default settings can be
changes using a configuration file (Note: Configuration).
