  Yes there is.  A program written by Moshe Braner called UPROOT will
cause GEMDOS to see a media changed signal on any drive, hard disk or
floppy.  I can send you a copy if you can't find it localy.

  By the way...  If you're using the Supra utilities, you should send
them some money.  Last time I checked they were being nice-guys and
distributing updates via GEnie and Compuserve.  Unfortunately, many
people have used Supras' being nice to SUPRA customers as though the
utilities were public domain (which they are not!).  Supra has allways
been willing to sell their utilities to anyone, but only Supra
customers are suppost to receive the updates for free.....

  If you don't own a Supra hard disk, send $24.95 to:

	Supra Corp.
	1133 Comercial Way
	Albany, or 97321

  to receive a disk with the utilities and documentation.
