What about DVDs? Is a DVD-ROM recognized as a CD-ROM, i.e. will the above
code be true if it is a DVD-ROM or it will be false?

Martin, can you please test the following?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main (void)
{
    if (_is_cdrom_drive ( 'R' - 'A' +1 ))
    {
        printf ("is a CDROM\n");
    }
    else
    {
        printf ("not a CD-ROM\n");
    }
}

What does print if you test with a DVD-ROM in your R: drive?

Regards,
Norberto
