Re: CD-ROM/FLOPPY DRIVE Hot Swapping Problem



I've got hot swapping working fine on my 755cd in win95.  The config.sys
has the IBMTPCD.SYS driver load, and autoexec has MSCDEX loaded.  Windows
95 thinks the CDROM is a "Standard CDROM drive".  When you lift up the
keyboard on your does it go fully into suspend mode?  And what happens
after you switch the CDROM with the floppy drive while its in suspend
mode?
