[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How to determine what type of drive?

mds1@cbnewsm.att.com (marc.d.sayre) (11/29/90)

I have been reading a lot of books about dos bios etc and know
about bios calls and dos calls. I know how to get information of the
boot block fat table etc etc. But how in the hell do you determine
without having a floppy in your drive, what type of drive you are dealing
with?? Usually you can read this of the floppy disk if it already has been
formatted.

I 've been wanting to know this for a while and therefor are posting this to
all ms-dos wizzards out there!!!!
