I'm sure this is a classic DOS question, but it's been too
long since I've developed with DOS, so excuse me please.

In my program, how can I check to see if there is a floppy
disk in the drive without getting the "Abort, Retry, Fail"
error???

I used to do something like this, but that does not work
in FreeDOS anymore it seems:

result = biosdisk(2,drive,0,0,1,1,buffer) & 0xFF;
if (result)
  printf("Drive not ready!\n");

TIA.
