-------------------------------
Do you have problems with the LED on the diskdrive not
going out? The disk stays selected, but is not reading or writing.
Sometimes putting a floppy in the OTHER drive would clear up the problem,
but not always.
Sound familiar?
Well, it's a little bug in the trackdisk.device!
When the system is polling all empty drives to check if
a new floppy has been inserted, sometimes it releases a different
floppy drive that should still be busy.
The task accessing the disk waits patiently for a signal that never arrives.
The workaround is to keep disks in all floppy drives at all times.
