floppy disk

I’m trying to write a shell that emulates some DOS functionality and one thing that would be cool would be to emulate the way DOS handles disk reads and writes.  If I mount the floppy drive as SYNCHRONOUS, then I get the synchronous writes like in DOS, but I’m encountering an issue where if I make a change on the disk (on another computer) without umounting, then put it back in the linux/dos combo, it reads the cached version instead of the new version.  Is there an elegant solution for this?

 

Thanks,

David
