Subject: how to detect cdrom?

hello everyone.

i am looking for a generic batch routine that will detect the cdrom
and ramdrive. this is for a pcdos 2000 bootdisk. previously,
i was using msdos 6.22 with 'findramd.exe' (with setramd.bat)
from the win98se ebd, but when i moved it to pcdos it didn't work.

i traced it and 'xmsdsk.exe' loads fine, but 'findramd.exe' does not
return the errorlevel like before. i have the feeling it doesn't like
non-MS dos'es.

can this be done without using external utilities?

TIA.
