How can I detect if a drive contains a disk without getting the
Abort, Retry, Ignore message. I work in a computer lab at Pitt
and would I like to encourage students to use flopies rather than
leaving copies of their files all over the hard drive. I plan
on writing a utility that will check for a disk in the floppy drive
and run Turbo C or Turbo Pascal etc. with the appropriate configuration.
