DRIVE TYPES Version 2.0 PUBLIC DOMAIN SOURCE CODE FOR PASCAL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHAT IS IT?
The DRVTYPES.PAS Borland (Turbo) Pascal 6+ public domain code gives you
possibilities to retrieve the type of a specified drive. Version 2.0
currently provides detection of the following drive types:
- Fixed drives
- Removeable (floppy, etc.) drives
- Remote (network) drives
- MSCDEX V2.00+ compatible CD-ROM drives
- DoubleSpace compressed drives
- SUBST'ed or re-assigned drives
- Stacker version 4 compressed drives (dunno about earlier versions)
- RAM drives (driven usually by RAMDRIVE or VDISK)
- Vertisoft DoubleDisk 2.6 compressed drives
- IOmega Bernoully drives
- Norton Diskreet drives
- SuperStor compressed drives
2. HOW TO USE DRVTYPES
Program DRIVES.PAS demonstrates the use of the DrvTypes unit.
Since most of the entire code in DRVTYPES.PAS written in BASM (built-in
assembler), you may easily port this code for use with the C/CPP language
(see general notes in DRVTYPES.PAS for more information).
