I just bought Falcon 1.1 for my unmodified 520STfm, and I have noticed some
strangeness. Disk 1 loads fine, but when it asks for disk 2, my disk drive
keeps spinning, yet the drive light goes off. On top of this, if I do insert
disk 2 at that time and press space like it says, it won't load. In order
for it to load disk 2, I have to take out disk 1 and press space with no disk
in the drive. After about 10-15 seconds, it asks again for disk 2. When I put
it in this time, it loads fine! I have also noticed that the disk drive keeps
making a spinning noise even though the drive light is off. It keeps doing
that until I get to the actual cockpit screen. What Gives?

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know why it does this? It is
very irritating.
