Would have replied to this sooner, but I had forgotten why I rebooted when I
was testing my theory.

You can (at least in Win2K Pro) change the drive letter for the A: drive by
modifying the registry.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices\ is a bunch of keys called
"\DosDevice\X:" where X is the actual drive letter. If you rename the key
for A: to something else (say Z:), A: becomes available for mapping network
drives such as client floppy drives. You have to reboot after changing the
key name for it to take effect.
