[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Where is the hard drive?

TOMIII@MTUS5.BITNET (Thomas Dwyer III) (08/31/90)

Hi there.  We are running PC-NFS on our machines.  The boot process
starts up the network as follows:

PRT *
NET YPDOMAIN oogbla
NET START RDR

Now we run a program which (using the PC-NFS toolkit) downloads another
program (which we change from time to time) from the sun and starts
running it.  The problem comes in determining just where the destination
of this download is.  Currently we just make a ram disk with a PD utility
but because memory is so tight, we wish to do the downloading to a hard
disk instead if one is present.  The question is this - how do I determine
the existance of a hard disk, and what device letter it is?


Thank you for your time.
