How can I detect all drives with int 13h, I mean floppyes, hard disks ... ?
Can I detect with int 13h also CDROMs?

Thank you!

I think INT 13h AH=08h DL=0 will put the number of
floppy drives in DL; and INT 13h AH=08h DL=80h
will put the number of hard drives in DL.

IIRC, the INT 13h services for CD-ROMs only work
if you _boot_ from the CD-ROM. Otherwise, they
are disabled.

thank you
