It may not be your mtools. Try doing other "disk change" type
operations - for example, format a couple of disks and then write a
multiple volume tar to them. Then, try and read it back. If you're
not getting any "Disk type is undefined after change" (whatever the
exact wording is) type messages, your disk drive may have a faulty
disk-change detect switch. Make sure your system's setup has the
correct drive type, and make sure /etc/mtools is configured properly.
If all else fails, try swapping floppy drives (if possible) or having
yours looked at.
