Ok, Your not going to believe this. I didn't!

There has been a number of problem reported concerning the floppy drive and
AOS's BSD. Well is another one.

Insert 360k floppy into drive. Do a "dosdir". Fine.
Insert another floppy into drive. Do "dosdir" and get.......
  THE DIRECTORY OF THE FIRST FLOPPY!
Logout and log back in. Do dosdir. And still you get the original directory.

We tried this many times with many combinations and we always get the
directory of the first floppy that we read.

I have recommended that we reevaluate AIX and perhaps drop AOS.
