floppy drive issues
« on: November 19, 2004, 11:27:22 PM »
This may seem to be the wrong place to put this question, but it is software related.

Is there anyway to stop AmigaDOS polling the disk drive? Maybe my drive is just getting a bit cranky, but it keeps trying to query the drive while I'm in the middle of writing an adf to disk with tracktool.

Still, a replacement drive might just be the answer...

Yes, that's what it's always done.

Thanks for the information. I should be able to find such a utility, but I will contact if I have trouble :)
Not sure why I never came across such a thing years ago. It always got on my nerves...
