Has anyone suggestions for the following problem:
 
I would like to completely remove a floppy drive and its associated
tasks and buffers from the system. Sending a ACTION_DIE packet to the
FileHandler responds with DOS_FALSE (is this meant for a console task
?).
It seems possible by looking from the trackdisk task to find the
current
IORequest from the filehandler and do a CloseDevice for it, or replace
the
trackdisk task by a dummy one which always returns an error.
 
Does the FileHandler have a cleanup function, or is there a clean way
to do this all ?
