Hello Users:
I have new offical AmigaDOS 1.3 for Amiga 500. When I relabeled my
diskette while current working directory is old label that had redefined.
Then, I removed my diskette from my amiga 500 and insert another diskette
but system requestor want my previous diskette badly repeatly each a second.
I decided inserted my previous diskette and problems went away. Then, I
removed my same diskette from Amiga drive but the system requestor did the
same again! I decided to CD to other directory and what happens! The problems
went away after I CDed. Later, I decided to relabel my other diskette and
it resulted the same! I felt that it have a real BUG! This is a bug report.
I cold booted my entire Amiga by using switch on power supply. I tried that
but it resulted the same!
Commodore: if you read this, please fix this bug for next version of AmigaDOS.
Thanks.

I think you have a case where the current directory is on a disk, and you remove that disk from the drive. Anything that will need to check the current directory will result in a requester asking you to put that disk back in the drive, since the current directory is not accessible. The problem went away when you changed to a directory on a different device. It's not a bug, but just some potentially confusing behavior on the part of AmigaDOS, especially if you are used to the behavior of MS-DOS and the like. -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "You just don't get off a spaceship and run." --Avon
