          TITLE:    Magnavox PCGlobe
   DOCUMENT ID#:    FYI-M-1613
           DATE:    04JAN93
        PRODUCT:    DR DOS
PRODUCT VERSION:    6
     SUPERSEDES:    06JAN92

        SYMPTOM:    Error message: Check to see if you have the
                    right CD in your drive.

  ISSUE/PROBLEM:  
Magnavox licenses a program called PCGlobe to run on their 461 CD
ROM external drive. The commercial version of PCGLOBE has no
incompatibilities with DRDOS 6.0.  However, the Magnavox version
generates an error "CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CD IN YOUR
DRIVE".  This occurs with any configuration.

       SOLUTION: 
Remove the second line from the batch file that invokes PCGLOBE.
The second line checks to see if a file exists on the PCGLOBE
CDROM. This check fails because the file has the hidden attribute
set. DR DOS does not acknowledge the existance of hidden files.
