The line marked "<=" does the recognition.

Re: Automatic recognition of floppy drive
Re: Automatic recognition of floppy drive
$ io -connect /noadapter/driver=sys$pipedriver
$ io autoconfigure ! <=
$ exit
how do I check for errors if the floppy is not there?
how do I send a message to the screen alerting the operator to "Insert a floppy disk"?
how can $STATUS be used in this scenario?

Re: Automatic recognition of floppy drive
welcome to VMS forum!
I'm not sure about your real intention; I try to do.
You can know if floppy is recognized usign f$getdvi like follow
$ IF F$GETDVI(floppy_dev,"EXISTS")
$ THEN
$ ... floppy exist
$ ELSE
$ ... execute here Uwe's statement
$ ... so mount new floppy
$ ENDIF
About floppy in drive, I don't know any option of f$getdvi.

The autoconfigure only loads the software driver. It does not look for media.
>> how do I send a message to the screen alerting the operator to "Insert a floppy disk"?
Well, if you just try to mount/for it, that will succeed with media present and will fail, whilest warning the operator is not present:
$ mount/for XXX$DVA0:
%MOUNT-I-OPRQST, Please mount device _XXX$DVA0:
%MOUNT-I-NOOPR, no operator available to service request
I don't think you can detect the floppy presence without attempting a mount.
hth,
Hein.

Re: Automatic recognition of floppy drive
Re: Automatic recognition of floppy drive
Uwes command:
$ mc sysman io autoconfigure
identifies all the devices connected to the alpha and loads the drivers needed for them.
So this command is needed if you dont see yours floppy as a device (probably DVA0). Once you see the device this command is not needed.
There is no special command to check if there is a floppy in the drive. You can just try to mount it with MOUNT/ASSIST.
the line:
io connect mpa0/noadapter/driver=sys$pipedriver
is needed for DCL piping and you dont need it (It was a part of the search command)
