If it was a hardware problem, it would happen in OS 3, too. It doesn't.

And WinUAE waits at least 3 seconds between removal and insertion when swapping ADFs. This surely is not a "very short time".

I'm trying to ascertain whether it's a problem of the old 68K Paula floppy driver on the Classic version of OS4 (which is most unlikely to be changed), or the PPC a1floppy.device on the XE (which would be my responsibility).

I'm pretty sure the IDCMP_DISKREMOVED and IDCMP_DISKINSERTED events are triggered by the IECLASS_DISKREMOVED and IECLASS_DISKINSERTED events which in turn are caused by the filesystem which for floppies would be FastFileSystem.

Wasn't the CrossDOSFileSystem originally designed for floppies. If a FAT formatted floppy causes the same problem then either the same problem exists in both filesystems or neither. It seems like you could rule out the filesystems by inserting an unformatted floppy.
