:) Kids might enjoy all these flying objects though...
Well, I don't have a perfect answer but I can suggest a less than perfect
solution. How about checking in addition to the IsRemovable property, the
Capacity property (a range between 630mb and 720mb to be safe). This should
rule out Zip disks, Jazz disks, DVDs, flash cards,etc. It leaves you with
the CD-RW and CD drives. Since both can read CDs, you just have to eject one
of them for the kids to insert the required CD.
Sounds too unprofessional, I know.
