WB>yes... that's true.  the typical user will have three devices mapped.

It can be done, but by the time P8 hands control off to a user routine (either 
ATINIT or the first '.SYSTEM' file) it has already setup the slot/drive table 
which means that the user program would have to do the slot-scan itself :(

WB>aren't we allowed to put devices in slot 0, or at least patch in
WB>drivers for them there?

I wouldn't advise it as a lot of programs use the Slot 0 values to determine 
whether there is a device in another slot/drive location.
