 L#@> How do I get DOS 6.0 to install from B drive?  Is there some trick
 L#@> I'm missing?

 Good question.  I'm kinda lazy and never changed over drives.  My A:
 drive is still a 5 1/4.  But...I had no problem installing anything
 from B: (3 1/2).  I've gone from MSDOS 5.0 to 6.0 to 6.2 to 6.22 to
 IBM PCDOS 7.0.  If you blew out your previous version of DOS that was
 a mistake.  All of these installed from the B: drive with no problem
 just by typing SETUP.  If you really want to do it right, dig inside
 and switch around the ribbon cable going to the floppies.  Take a look
 at that floppy ribbon cable and you'll notice a twist near the end.
 A: drive usually must be attached after the twist.  Change your CMOS
 to the appropriate floppy parameters and go to town.

... If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
