FindIcons Filecore Flag Finking

[c-jo]

I'm not sure the "hard discs can eject" flag means it can be treated like a floppy.

From FileCore/Docs/Eject:

"There are two new flag bits in the FileCore descriptor block flags. Bit 6 if
set specifies that the floppy discs (drives 0 to 3) support power eject. Bit
7 if set specifies that the winchesters (drives 4 to 7) support power eject."

In addition the hard/floppy style mounting seems to determine if a boot block is used, rather than floppies can should be treated like hard discs. The details are in FileCore/Doc/MiscOp

Practially the only difference between "floppy" and "hard" discs for FilerX are

If the disc name or :n is shown under the icon.
The default icon to use.

It would be possible to use the "can power eject" flags to add a "Eject" menu item (greyed out unless the bit is set). I'm not sure what hardware actually supports it though!

I think the 'harddrive mounts like floppy' (and floppy mounts like a harddrive) should mean 'devices in this range is removeable'. Which isn't quite what it's doing right now. I think I got the logic a bit wrong in there.

As you say the mount flag is strictly about how the devices find their disc records, which says nothing about whether they're removeable or not. Splitting the logic in FindDrives so that Eject is a separate property seems like a good plan.

Plus you can infer that if it has an eject, it must be removeable.

The CanPowerEject option is now included in the code and should trigger the menu to ungrey if it's available.

I don't think I'm doing the inference of eject->removeable, but I'm also not sure that my determination of the removeable state in FindDrives is correct either.
