As I remember, even Plain Old DOS (or perhaps more specifically,
*applications* in MS/PC-DOS) would indeed detect floppy-disk
changes, for example, the MS/PC-DOS "backup" command when
spanning multiple floppies.  You would get a message like
"disk change detected on drive <some letter>."  And/or some
program would not continue (e.g. backup) would not continue
until it detected a disk change.
