Good point. I had forgotten that. (I don't think I ever plugged an external 
drive into my B2000. ;-)

The 'nr_floppies=' option is redundant, though, isn't it? The same infomation 
is conveyed in the 'floppy<n>type=' options. What's worse - it's ambiguous. 
If you the 'nr_floppies=2' is specified, but no 'floppy<n>type=' options, how 
is UAE supposed to know which drive (besides DF0:) to enable?

Cheers,
Rich
