You can find a function in Turbo Pascal that does what you want (determine
drive type, RAM, SUBST, HD, NETWORK, 3 1/2, 5 1/4, etc...) by looking in the
Turbo Power section (PCVENB) on Compuserver.  The file is called Drives.ARC, it
should be VERY simple to change to C or assembler if you need to.  (As well as
work with Windows).
