Hi,

That was just a mistake of mine - thanks for pointing out :-)

Okay - I seem to understand that:

- The number range of drives may overlap with the number range of units
- At least some guys say that specifying drives isn't that popular

From these two facts one could come to this conclusion:

"A drive may only be specified together with a unit."

This would mean:

"4:abc.txt" means unit 4.
"4:6:abc.txt means unit 4 drive 6.

The parser for this scheme would even be somewhat simple than for the
one I suggested before.

All these thoughts based on the presumption that there isn no second
char beside ':' that can be reserved for unit separation purposes.

Regards,
Oliver
