Disk Change Line Test
This test verifies the disk change line capability of the floppy
drive. A drive with disk tine change capability allows the
operating system to recognize that a new diskette has been
inserted without accessing the Format Allocation Table (FAT)
The diskette used in this test must be formatted under the
user's operating system before running the test.
