- 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.
