You might be interested in the new INIT that a couple of hard-headed BMUG members created. It is a parking program for 400 and 800K floppy drives. It moves the heads to the innermost track before the disk is ejected. This stops the caught-head syndrome! The programs name is SafeEject and is on BMUG Utilities 14 disk. daviD morgensterN BMUG CheerLeader We're in the Business of Giving Away Information. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- FidoNet: 1:161/445 UUCP: sun!apple!bmug!
