WHICH version of Windoze?
What specific kinds, sizes, brands, and models, of drives?
Some drives have a "disk changed" signal; some have "Drive Ready"
In CP/M, whenever you changed disks, you were 'sposed to press Ctrl-C to
tell the OS that you had done so, so that it knew not to believe the
buffer contents.
That was still implemented in early versions of MS/PC-DOS.
C: so some of my measages are getting to the list. thia is hratifying.
Win2K Advanced Server. Generic Athlon XP 2600+ box.
Happena with 2 very different drives. I habe other srives, but this is a
windows issue. I can feel it in my bones.
