Are we sure that CD-ROMs and DVDs support FAT32 calls?  If not, I
think we should not issue FAT32 calls for CDs and DVDs.  At least for
a CD, you can know that it's a CD with this snippet:

>     regs.x.ax = 0x150b;   /* is this drive supported by CD-ROM driver? */
>     regs.x.cx = drive_number;
>     __dpmi_int(0x2f, &regs);
>     if ((regs.x.flags & 1) == 0 && regs.x.bx == 0xadad && regs.x.ax != 0)
>     {

But it should be issued _before_ you try FAT32 calls on this drive.

It is IMHO a bad idea to call low-level functions on drives that
aren't supposed to support them.
