NAME
- TD_GETDRIVETYPE
-
return the type of disk drive for the unit that was opened.
FUNCTION
This command returns the type of the disk drive to the user. This number will be a small integer and will come from the set of DRIVEXXX constants defined in <devices/trackdisk.h>.
The only way you can actually use this command is if the trackfile device understands the drive type of the hardware that is "plugged in". This is because the OpenDevice() call will fail if the trackfile device does not understand the drive type.
