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?
