Nero polled the floppy? I don't think I ever noticed that and it
doesn't seem logical unless Nero had a backup to floppy feature.


I've never seen Nero do it, in 10 years, but I have seen it with some
other apps....can't recall which anymore.


Can you at least recall if they were cd recording apps? It just
doesn't make sense for an app that records in ISO9660 to bother
polling a floppy controller.


Depends at what level it is written; I could imagine a prog. written at
a higher level just going through all drive letters and mapping the ones
that respond as a writer.
