@subheading Description

This function checks if drive number @var{drive} (1 == A:, 2 == B:,
etc., 0 == default drive) is fixed or removable.  

@code{_media_type} should only be called after you are sure the drive
isn't a CD-ROM or a RAM disk, since these might fool you with this
call.  

@subheading Return Value

1 if the drive is a fixed disk, 0 if it is removable. -1 on error.  

@subheading Portability

@portability !ansi, !posix

@example
#include <stdio.h>

  if( _media_type( 'C' - 'A' + 1 ) )
  @{
    printf("C: is (probably) a hard drive.\n");
  @}
  else
  @{
    printf("C: is (probably) a removable drive.\n");
