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 stefan -- ############################################################################## Institut fuer Neue Materialien (INM) # Universitaet des Saarlandes, Geb. 43 # Phone: +49 681 302 5086 Stefan Brueck # E-Mail (Internet): brueck@inm.uni-sb.de W-6600 Saarbruecken (Germany) # ##############################################################################
