Hi ,

I'm looking for a way to find out if the drive light is still on.

OR

If SMARTDRV is finished write-behind writing,

from withing an application.

DOS shell outs are not possible from my APP.  Any ideas???

Even better, does anyone have source to a good write-behind caching
program I can use on floppies and could modify easily to incorporate
into my program?
