- my problem: one of the two floppy drives in my computer doesn't recognize
- changes of the disk media. so each copy action destroys data, because the
- computer thinks there is the old disk in the drive. as i have any docus
- about the drive itself for service, i think a workaround like "start a
- separate program, which tells the computer the disk changed" should help.
-
- in order to write such a program i need information, where the flag for
- "MEDIACHANGE" is located in the computer and which settings are needed.
-
- thanx 4 help
