Hi netters,

I have a problem with my floppy drive (1.2M) and it might be a couple of
weeks before I can get around to getting it fixed.  The problem is that
the machine does not recognise a disk change.  This causes problems when I
want to install software from the 1.2 (it can't recognise that the disk it
want is in the drive).

What I want is a TSR that on a given key stroke (ctr-alt-R ??) will force
the machine to recognize the new disk.  Does such a utility exist out
there at all ????

thanx in advance
ant
