[alt.msdos.programmer] Method to detect drive as RAM drive?

emills@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Evan Mills) (06/20/91)

I'm working on a project where I need to gather information on
all or some of the disk drives installed in a system.
Using the undocumented "List of Lists" I'm able to check-- via
the array of Current Directory Structures-- if a drive is valid, 
SUBST'ed, JOIN'ed, an Installable File System (DOS 4.0???), 
and/or physical.

My problem is that I'd like a way to detect whether or not a
drive is a RAM drive.  My RAM drive is created by PC-Kwik and is
listed as a physical drive.  Also, MS-Windows displays a hard drive
icon instead of a RAM drive icon.  I need some way to identify
it as a _RAM_ drive.  Any additional drive characteristics
would be desirable as well.

Thanks in advance,
