That's not really the defaut, it depends on the configuration you had on 
your ST ; many people who did many code/gfx/music had a second drive 
because it was much more useful than having only the internal drive.

As the number of games/demos working correctly with 2 drives is bigger 
than those that don't work, I think it's better to keep it this way, at 
least for backward compatibility with previous Hatari version.
