1 2.2 Drive letters
1 =================
1 
1 The meaning of the drive letters depends on the target architectures.
1 However, on most target architectures, drive A is the first floppy
1 drive, drive B is the second floppy drive (if available), drive J is a
1 Jaz drive (if available), and drive Z is a Zip drive (if available).  On
1 those systems where the device name is derived from the SCSI id, the Jaz
1 drive is assumed to be at SCSI target 4, and the Zip at SCSI target 5
1 (factory default settings).  On Linux, both drives are assumed to be the
1 second drive on the SCSI bus (/dev/sdb). The default settings can be
1 changes using a configuration file (⇒Configuration).

1    The drive letter : (colon) has a special meaning. It is used to
1 access image files which are directly specified on the command line
1 using the `-i' options.
1 
1    Example:
1       mcopy -i my-image-file.bin ::file1 ::file2 .
1 
1    This copies `file1' and `file2' from the image file
1 (`my-image-file.bin') to the `/tmp' directory.
1 
1    You can also supply an offset within the image file by including
1 `@@'OFFSET into the file name.
1 
1    Example:
1       mcopy -i my-image-file.bin@@1M ::file1 ::file2 .
1 
1    This looks for the image at the offset of 1M in the file, rather than
1 at its beginning.
