- I was wondering.. What would it take to check to see if a disk is
- in a floppy drive without actually reading it? I know it can be
- done, as Fastback (I believe) does this. As soon as you close
- the drive door, it begins reading the disk. That's what I want
- to know..
-
- If it's possible (with less than 200 lines of code), how would it
- be done?
