Hello Roger,
The reason I brought this issue up is for example, when you are doing a backup
the software is toiling away for ages on a large backup spooling out temp files.
Maybe 45minutes later, when the user is away from the computer the prompt is
given requiring the first disk (even if a blank disk is inserted and ready).
Cheers,
Al+
