I believe this is a feature of Windows 2000.
By giving the external floppy connector a drive letter, you can hot plug it
and it immediately is available. So, in essence, Windows 2000 always
believes the external floppy is connected.
So when you put the floppy in the ultraslimbay, to Win 2000 thinks its the
second floppy, so it gives it B:.

I've just noticed recently my system shows up 2 floppy drives
A:
B:
Up to recently only A: was available.
Is it because:
[1] A: is the external and B: is when I slot it in the slimbay?
[2] I foolishly pulled out the slimbay cartridge and later slotted in the
FDD into the slimbay without disabling the bay first?
[3] something funny happening in Win2000
