I am attempting to determine how to look at say teh DOS media descriptor for a
drive in memory to determine if this is a network drive. I've posted about this
before and got no response.

Anyone what to look for? I have used my resources regarding DOS programming and
they never mention network drives.

Someone in here once posted that they were able to make a change to the media
descriptor to make DOS this that a network drive was a hard drive. Obvoisuly
this is possible, but what would information would one look for determining if
a drive was on the network, or local?

Any informaion regarding this would be appreciated.
Mark
