I would like to find the names of disks available on a system. Currently
I'm looking through the DevInfo list. The disk names are there. By looking
at dol_Type, I can determine if the entry is for a device or not. The
problem is how to figure out if it's a disk or not. Right now I look
for a startup message, and examine it to see if it looks like a disk
startup message.
I'm not happy with this method. It doesn't find the ram disk, and it may
find a device which is not a disk. Anybody have any suggestions?
Here's what I'm doing now.
RootNode = (struct RootNode *)DOSBase->dl_Root;
DosInfo = (struct DosInfo *)BADDR(RootNode->rn_Info);
Devices = (struct DosList *)BADDR(DosInfo->di_DevInfo);
for(Device = Devices;
Device;
Device = (struct DosList *)BADDR(Device->dol_Next))
{
if (Device->dol_Type == DLT_DEVICE
&& (Startup = (struct FileSysStartupMsg *)
BADDR(Device->dol_misc.dol_handler.dol_Startup))
&& (DosEnvec = (struct DosEnvec *)BADDR(Startup->fssm_Environ))
&& DosEnvec->de_Surfaces < 20
&& DosEnvec->de_Surfaces > 0)
;
else
;
Name = (char *)BADDR(Device->dol_Name);
Name++;
printf("%08x: %d %s\n", Device, Device->dol_Type, Name);
}

Example code to do what you're seeking can be found on Fish Disk #79 in the
"Info" directory where you'll find:
Info Replacement for the AmigaDOS info command. Includes source.
