Checking volume exists/mounted without popping requester?

[earok]

Is there a way to check that a volume is mounted (specifically, checking if someone's inserted a disk into df1: ) without popping the intuition requester?


(I'm aware of the hack given in the manual - Poke.l Peek.l(Peek.l(4)+276)+184,-1 - to disable the requester entirely, but I'd prefer to avoid doing that if at all possible since the game might be played in a Workbench environment)

You could periodically scan the list of volumes, either using OS dos.library calls, or using the ElmoreDOSLib. It contains GetAssigns and Assign$ keywords, that can work something like this:

GetAssigns 2 ; 2 represents volumes
done = False
Repeat
  x$ = Assign$
  If x$ = "" Then done = 1
  If LCase$(x$) = "testvolume:" Then done = 2
Until done

If done = 2
  NPrint "TestVolume: is mounted"
End If

Thanks, that seems to do what I want
