Nope.
The volumes on Windows only give the drive letters, A, B, C, etc. and
do not even tell you which drive is being used for the CD. Also, a
user prompt is a big no no for this, must be done behind the scenes.
Also, if no CD is loaded, it spits up an error dialog, another no no.
No problemo on Mac. Mac gives the names of the volumes. So all is
cool on Mac. But Windows is a bugger for this. I thought I had it
solved until I tested it on Windows last night, and discovered that
my wondrous solution is not cross platform :-(
If I could get my hands on the system info that the program
winmsd.exe compiles, the way I can get Apple System Profiler info, I
could parse what I need.
