[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Floppy light indicator

ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Gerald Greenberg) (05/21/91)

There is a neat little program for another type of computer
that makes the busy light of one of the floppy drives in a
system blink whenever any drive, e.g. hard disk or ram disk,
is accessed.  I think this is really great because I don't
have my hard disk busy light hooked up...Is there such a
program for msdos machines?

In Norton Utilities 5.0 there is "diskmon" which does the thing.
