I need to know if drive B is REALLY attached. "Drvmap" (Which, by the way is NOT my friend :-) says that there is a drive B, even if there isn't. I'm guessing that this is so the "logical" drive switching works. I've seen other programs that have done this, but NOTHING in the documentation that I have here. Can anyone shed light on this? C answers are perfered, but assembler will do. Please email them to me, and I'll follow up in a week or two. -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@orca.WV.TEK.COM uunet!tektronix!orca.wv!jeff Utek Engineering, Tektronix Inc. +1 503 685 2568 SPEEA - Just say no.

There is an official system variable called _nflops in the $4xx area which you can use for that purpose. It contains 1 if you only have drive A and 2 for both drives. I think the address is $4A6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things. Take. Time.
