- NO!NO!NO! I've got 180 systems on my network & this would FAIL on all
- but one of them!!!!! Standard configuration:
- c: local
- d: local
- h: net
- i: net
- j: net (about 1/2 the systems)
- z: net
-
- we also have a couple with s:, t:, u: & v: being CD-ROM's. Only ONE
- machine has a physical c: -> g: -- even then, you'd miss z:!
-
- To REALLY check every drive in the system, you've got to check a:
- through z:, ignoring any invalid drive conditions!
