- I remember reading (several times actually) about an undocumented switch in
- DOS 5 that makes it default to a 'F'ail status on bad disk reads, trying to
- read a floppy with the door open, etc. Now, I need to know how to do that,
- and of COURSE, I can't find the references. Can anybody help me? Thanks!
