Considering the price I think I can live with it! Just out of >curiosity does this also happen with Crossdos? Yes and no. I have cross-dos 4.0 (small substory, I bought it from a mail order house in California for US$19 and it took about a week to get here, but if I had bought it locally, in Adelaide South Australia, it would have cost AU$79 which is about US$63!!!) and it exhibits a similar problem. If you insert an MS-DOS volume in a drive it is accessed correctly. If you remove it and replace it with an Amiga-DOS volume, everything works. If you insert an MS-DOS volume, remove it, and replace it with *another* MS-DOS volume, you get a: Disk removed to soon Data may be corrupted Please replace volume Retry Cancel requestor most of the time - but not always! I just cancel them and they go away cleanly. CrossDos also works perfectly with SKsh (thanks Steve, great shell!). For US$19, go and buy CrossDos. I got it from MicroMega, La Mesa, Ca. Disclaimer: I have no connection with CrossDos or MicroMegs except that I am a happy customer, and have no hesitation in recommending them.
