Remarks
This function can be issued without a previously allocated file handle by using a file handle of -1 and specifying the Drive Unit (0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, and so forth). On return, the data byte is set to 0 for removable media or 1 for nonremovable media. Media in the drive is not required for this function.
