Giorgio, Use the device name to make the distinction: If its called DOS, then its DOS, etc. Per On 26/11/2021 10:28, Giorgio Garabello via Ql-Users wrote: The old behavior was that DMEDIUM_DRIVE returned -1 when pointing to a dos disk. it was not "correct" but it allowed me to distinguish the two types. what do i need it for?

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 v5.02
The old behavior was that DMEDIUM_DRIVE returned -1 when pointing to a dos disk. it was not "correct" but it allowed me to distinguish the two types. what do i need it for? I use it in a couple of programs .. in particular the new file manager that I have created and which I think I will be able to publish in a few weeks.
