  The DRIVE OFF command was a good Idea when there was just FLOPPY / HARD 
DRIVE.

  But Now we have Drive Wire in the mix.

  Why not make a command such as

  DSKMODE

  Where the syntax  DSKMODE X

  Where X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

  And

  0 =  All Hard Drives 0 - 256
  1 =  All Drive Wire  0 - 256
  2 =  Drives 0 - 3 Floppy Drives,  Drives  4 - 256  Hard Drive
  3 =  Drives 0 - 3 Floppy Drives,  Drives 4 -9 Drive Wire, Drives  10 - 
256  Hard Drive
  4 =  Drives 0 - 3 Floppy Drives,  Drives 4 -9 Ram Disk, Drives  10 - 
256  Hard Drive


  Such a command would simplify dealing with all these media types.
