- There is just a switch that needs to be set. It tells the drive in which
- mode to report disk change in.
-
- 1. It just changes the state of disk change if a disk is put in or out,
- ie. if it was 1 and you remove/insert a disk it is set to 0.
-
- 2. The state of the disk change signal is the direct status if a disk
- is in or out, ie. if a disk is in the drive the disk change signal is
- 1 (or vice versa).
-
- Hope this helps.
