Hi, yes, FreeCOM can handle changing drive letters. The PROBLEM
is that harddisk letters are handled by a kernel driver which
can only do one hole-free range of drive letters. So if you
could enable a new partition on the fly, all subsequent drive
letters would move. HOWEVER, you are free to write a RAMDISK
style driver which MOUNTS an arbitrary FAT partition: You only
have to provide sector read/write and calculate the right (read:
offset by partition start position) sector numbers, and the
kernel will do the rest. Such a driver can even be loaded from
the prompt with devload...
