7436.0. ""Not enough Drive letters" error message" by ROUTES::TEDESCO () Sat May 10 1997 23:02

    In trying to get an RRD42 to work with a system, I keep getting a 
    "Not Enough drive letters" error message whenever I pass a certain
    number of letters. I don't have "lastdrive=" set in config.sys so I'm
    confused as to why it won't automatically assign enough drive letters.
    With one disk and CD it's ok. With 3 disks, get error.
    
    Does anyone have any thoughts as to why? Thanks for any help, John.

    Without a lastdrive setting, it defaults to lastdrive=E.  Put in a
    lastdrive setting higher than E.

    Given the base noter is still using DOS, my response in .1 was intended
    to be sensitive to the "system memory usage conscious."
