Hi there programmers, I use TURBO C 1.5 , I know about bios and dos
calls to find out what type of formatted floppy disk there is in
the drive. BUT how in the hell do you find out what type of drive
you have without the floppy in it.

The ms-dos program format seems to find out one way or the other.

If you could help me please respond with text or C code examples.

Also can anyone send me routines for clear to end of line and clear to
end of screen (I know they are in borland libraries, I just want to find out
the source code)

Thanks,

Erick Otto
