Hyperdisk seems to have ALWAYS problems in sensing disk changes.
It seems as if it would not expect the disk to be changed
unless the disk change takes longer than the time specified as flushing
time. I had to set this as low as 2 seconds in order to not 
garble my disks.

Hyperdisks hotkeys do not work on my computer, the keyboard starts
doing wired things like blinking with caps lock and scroll lock
at every keypress, returning upper characters only regardless
what I do with capslock etc.
