mol-general Digest, Vol 2, Issue 14

[ted bonkenburg]

Ok.  So it is pretty much confirmed.  There is a bug where Mom (the UI)  
doesn't detect a cd/dvd if the drive is not capable of recording.  This  
is probably because I am using the DRDevice  
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/ 
discrecording/CocoaDoc/DRDevice/Classes/DRDevice/index.html) API.  It  
is from the DiskRecording framework, so I should have known -- but it  
is very convenient to use :-)

Does any one know what the proper API is to use?  What I need is  
something that can enumerate all cd/dvd devices and if there is a disc  
in the drive I should be able to get the bsd device name for the drive.  
  If I find the right api then I can probably post a fixed version  
tomorrow evening or so.

Thanks in advance.
