I haven't seen the documentation on this, but how does one change a 
floppy disk on the fly? I'm using disk images here.

It almost seems as if I have to rename the file from whatever was set in 
.dosemurc, then rename the new disk to that filename. Is this the 
correct way to do it? Is there a more elegant way of doing this?

Thanks
JD

Hi there.

Is there an easy way to switch disks? Right now, I'm using disk images 
to do an old multidisk install of MASM.
I've set up a sort of a drive a: with a symlink to the current disk 
image. I start up dosemu, and it's able to read the disk image fine 
(assuming I have .dosemurc set up right). However, when it comes time to 
change disks, I link the symlink to the new disk, and dosemu seems to 
think the old disk is still in there.

Dosemu seems to (internally) mount the disk on load. Is there a way to 
force the disk to be reread?

Thanks,
JD
