Hi,
Was running the new version of Speccy, v1.04, and was reminded by the constant 'kerchunking' noise from my non-operational floppy disk drive, that for whatever reason, Speccy keeps testing, checking the drive about every 3 to 5 seconds. It does stop the kerchunking once I quit Speccy.
It may be because this is an older machine, and the floppy stopped functioning a long while back - perhaps it is looking for a valid return state code?
May I suggest that, at least for floppy drive, if it does not get a satisfactory status code after x number of tries, it be allowed to give up, so that it doesn't keep kerchunking the drive? (maybe after 5 or 10 tries maximum)
Not a show stopper, just a suggestion for future release.
FYI: Windows XP SP3, Sony Vaio PCV RS 530G, 2 GB RAM.
Thank you.
