Subject: Re: CP/M disk logins

The BDOS asks the BIOS to log in a disk by passing a flag in the E register
when calling SELDSK.  As to how the BDOS knows that a log in is necessary,
I can only surmise that the directory checksum is verified before any disk
write, but I have nothing with which to back that up.
