If so, you could iterate through the listed volumes using a couple of
applescripts to determine whether the drive was local (false if it's a
network drive) ejectable (false if it's internal) and then if you get
two
false results you can attempt to open a file on the volume. If that
gives
you an error then the drive is write protected. If it passes all
tests then
you're left (presumably) with an external USB or Firewire drive.
The "passes all tests" list can also includes mounted .dmg files.
Thanks for posting this - very helpful.
