Our 386 clone doesn't recognise a change of floppy disk, is there a quick fix for this as some software doesn't install. I'm looking for a memory resident program that allows you to press a key that will read the floppy disk and find it has changed... advaTHANKSnce Robin

Hi, I thought you already had one; COMMAND.COM. If you press Ctrl-C at the prompt, it does something like a Unix 'sync' on your floppy disks. Or so I heard.
