Recently I have heard that there is a program that will shut off the floppy
disk during boot up.  This is suppose to be for stopping it from spinning
when booting from a hard disk instead of having to put a disk in and
accessing it.  Does anyone know of or have a copy of this program.  I would
like to get a copy of it.  Source or binary:  it would be interesting to see
what is done, but all I really want is something that I can use.

many thanks,

mike
