AmigaOS 3.1 Command Reference

DISKCHANGE


Format:
DISKCHANGE <device>

Template:
DRIVE/A

Purpose:
To inform the Amiga that you have changed a disk in a
disk drive.

Path:
C:DISKCHANGE

Specification:


The DISKCHANGE command is only necessary when you are using 5.25 inch floppy
disk drives or removable media drives without automatic diskchange hardware.
Whenever you change the disk or cartridge of such a drive, you must use
DISKCHANGE to inform the system of the switch.

Example:

If a requester appears and asks you to insert a new disk into your 5.25 inch
drive, known as DF2:, you must insert the disk, then enter:

1> DISKCHANGE DF2:

AmigaDOS will then recognize the new disk, and you can proceed.
