My setup differs somewhat from Ray's. I still have a Zip-100 drive in the chain
(original Iomega OS/2 driver), which I do use. It currently takes a Drive=T
assignment, right after the CD and CD-burner (R: & S:). After the Zip comes
a permanent Ramfs drive, which gets a U: assignment. I have to leave a
(transitory) Z: avaailable for use by RSJ. Given this scheme, I don't see a way
to use ReserveDriveLetter to shift -- for example -- the CD and burner to X & Y,
without messing things up.

Speaking of RSJ, since no one ventured an opinion on my recent post, about RSJ
always bombing out in my ECS partition, I guess I'll have to take this to RSJ
tech support.
