Why doesn’t the simulated Operating System correctly recognize the DVD/CD after I
changed the DVD/CD image?
When changing DVD/CD images clear the old image, allow the simulation to run for a
couple of seconds, and then set the new image. This gives the Operating System a chance
to see that the DVD-/CD-ROM is "not ready", and it more correctly detects that the
DVD/CD image has changed. For example:

<press "Stop" button>

1 simnow>ide:1.image 0 off

<press "go" button>
<wait 5 seconds>
<press "Stop" button>

1 simnow>ide:1.image 0 c:\fc3-x86_64-disc2.iso
