Two questions about programming for floppy drives: 1. How can you query the drive's MEDIA CHANGED status? I know that there is a device driver function for this, but the DOS IOCTL call doesn't seem to provide a call for it. 2. Can you tell if the drive is ready (i.e., media inserted and door closed)? I know there is a DOS function call where you can detect "media ready" for a handle, but I'd like to check before I open a file on the diskette. Can you get a handle for the device itself? -- jw@mckinsey.com (...mit-eddie!mck-csc!jw) Jeffrey Weiss -- -- jw@mckinsey.com (...mit-eddie!mck-csc!jw) Jeffrey Weiss
