There is just a switch that needs to be set. It tells the drive in which mode to report disk change in. 1. It just changes the state of disk change if a disk is put in or out, ie. if it was 1 and you remove/insert a disk it is set to 0. 2. The state of the disk change signal is the direct status if a disk is in or out, ie. if a disk is in the drive the disk change signal is 1 (or vice versa). Hope this helps. /Hasse -- / email: hasse@solace.hsh.se, irc: Knightman, mud: Kniggit@VikingMud \ \ snail-mail: Hans Holmberg, Sommarvagen 5, 854 67 Sundsvall, Sweden / / phone: +46 60 569169, fax: +46 60 569266 \ \ "In a crazy world a sane person would appear to be crazy." /
