- hmm. i mean hello :)
-
- i was just looking for some files when i began to wonder why ls keeps
- printing the same date+time for different directories on different
- floppies that just have the same name... i saw similar things before
- but this time i was _sure_ the disks weren't formatted on a peecee and
- all have the same `serial number' that makes atari BIOS miss disk
- changes. well..after some looking around i finally set a breakpoint
- on tos_dskchng and, you guessed it, it never got called. :-(
- or it only gets called when i always do `df /a' as first command after
- inserting a floppy... (or use the desktop :-/ )
-
- now having looked around more, i think the only way to fix this would
- be to have tosfs either _always_ check with mediach first before
- starting with disk accessing GEMDOS calls, or maybe better (atleast
- could be faster) hook into Rwabs' vector and look for E_CHNG and
- then mark some flag to be processed after the GEMDOS call returns.
- (because GEMDOS itself usually doesn't tell that it just handled a disk
- change) or maybe even better, just look for when GEMDOS calls Getbpb?
-
- cheers

- PS: oh this GEMDOS, nothing but trouble... :-)
