Function fs.getDrive
Returns the storage medium holding a path, or nil if the path does not exist. This is one of “hdd” if the path is stored on the computer’s local hard drive, “rom” if the path is in ROM, or the side on which a disk drive is attached if the path is on a Floppy Disk. As of ComputerCraft 1.52, a network-attached disk drive with a floppy in it returns the side of the computer on which the modem is attached, rather than the network name of the disk drive; presumably this is a bug.[1]

Part of	ComputerCraft
