I noticed on my pc that if I save something to my floppy or even put one in and look whats on it after I eject the disk and refresh the window I can still open files that where on the disk. If I leave it alone for about 5 minutes or so the drive goes blank again. and I can no longer acess the files, is this a windows xp feature? or is my floppy drive going crazy? (and taking me with it)
 
/me thinks you are going over the edge. :eek:
Mine don't do that. I don't know if I should be mad or not.
 
I was thinking windows makes a temp. image of the floppy so you have fast access when using it?maybe streams the info back into the floppy while your doing something else............. I dunno maybe I am crazy........ lack of "quality time" maybe??
 
Really strange. Mine never did that. Shouldn't be a hardware problem. Can you alter/copy the files after the disk is out?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
