Does anyone know how I can determine if a given drive number refers to a
fixed, floppy, network or RAM drive? The _bios_disk() calls in
MicrosSoft C 6.0A only work on floppy drives but I don't know how to
verify that the drive number I'm about to use is a floppy drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
