I'm looking for a method to test a volume to see if it is a floppy or a hard
drive.  I have written an INIT to patch PBMountVol to check an inserted disk
for viruses before mounting it and giving a dialog box if it is infected.
The problem is it takes far to long to mount a hard drive this way.  Any
sample code (or even references to IM if I've missed it) would be
appreciated.
