I was under the impression that the application looked at the file on the disk and the file determined where it was in the series (disk 4 of 7 for instance).  in fact i have several old programs in which the file names are "disk1", "disk2", etc.

I think PKZip spanned in a similar way with the zip file holding the information of its' place in the series.

also i remember the disk drive being polled during the process, so that's how i figured it "knew" there was a different disk in the drive.
