    Tony - I was very surprised to see that you consider it the
    responsibility of
    the BIOS to detect a disk-change.  I should think that would be an OS
    chore.  Comment ?

Hi Dave,

As you must realize, detection of a disk-change is actually a hardware
function.  The little microswitch on the disk drive door is usually
the mechanism.  It is, of course, up to the BIOS to pass this along to
the OS.  

Cheers,
Tony ;-)
