No, sorry - now I've managed to confuse experts and non-experts
alike.  And I'm not an expert of ProDOS drive/name placement - I just
report what I observe.  Clearly I need to come up with a better way of
explaining this.  :-)  It's all the same as before.  There's no new
rules in place; just new opportunities to insert drives, and now a new
virtual Disk II adapter with its two attendant drives.
