NO!NO!NO! I've got 180 systems on my network & this would FAIL on all
but one of them!!!!! Standard configuration:
c: local
d: local
h: net
i: net
j: net (about 1/2 the systems)
z: net
we also have a couple with s:, t:, u: & v: being CD-ROM's. Only ONE
machine has a physical c: -> g: -- even then, you'd miss z:!
To REALLY check every drive in the system, you've got to check a:
through z:, ignoring any invalid drive conditions!
