{ (replaces old DRIVE DETECT source posted and written by Andrew Eigus and placed in one of the last SWAG archives) Howdy Everyone! The DRVTYPES.PAS Borland (Turbo) Pascal 6+ code gives you a possibility to get the specified drive type. Version 1.1 currently supports detection of fixed, removable, remote, compressed, CD-ROM and RAM-emulated disk drives. Program DRIVES.PAS demonstrates the use of the DrvTypes unit. Code written by Mr. Byte (aeigus@fgate.castle.riga.lv) Stacker4 implementation and bug fixes by Bobby Z. RAM drive check code by Janis Smits All bugfix reports, comments, wishes, support code please send to: E-mail: aeigus@fgate.castle.riga.lv Mr. Byte Fido: 2:5100/33 Thanks and we hope you enjoy this code, Mr. Byte P.S.
