- This page gives various information about the current drive, as given by
- DOS.
-
- Logical drives are both real drives, and those created by the SUBST
- command.
-
- For the current drive, the drive type may not always be correct. There is
- no standard way of telling if a drive is actually a ramdisk or similar.
-
- A door lock is used by high density drives to let DOS know if a floppy
- has been removed. Some removable hard drives may also use this.
-
- A cluster is what DOS uses to keep track of data on the disk. A cluster
- consists of several actual sectors of data. A standard hard disk will have
- 4 sectors in each cluster (2K of data.)
