[comp.sys.amiga] DOS bug?

lel@wuphys.UUCP (Lyle E. Levine) (06/23/88)

I have been noticing a bug for a VERY long time now and no one ever
talks about it.  (Am I dreaming?).  When I pop out a disk and
"cd" to the empty drive, it USUALLY responds by popping up a requester.
Fine.  SOMETIMES though, rarely, the system GURUs.  This happens with
and without ARP.  It happens on my A2000, my old A1000, and it
happened last night on a friend's A1000 with a virgin Workbench disk.
Unfortunately, I have never remembered to write down the GURU number
and look it up!  Any ideas anyone?

Really it's an undocumented feature.  Early on, the people at Amiga realized
that some people didn't notice when they had removed disks from drives and
so spent inordinate amounts of time trying to cd to them.  So they decided
to make the system GURU - an example of applied psychology at work!
