Accessible disks? Opinions requested.

Hi folks,

I'm new to Cocoa, and I want to write an app which as a starting point enumerates all available mass storage devices, possibly including CD/DVDs, and presents the user with a list of mounted devices. Similar to what Installer does to choose the installation disk, but including non-writeable devices. I need to know which devices the user has selected.

I've searched for starting points and after extensive web/doc searching can find some hooks in Darwin and IOKit to find the devices - but seems unnecessarily complicated for what seems a commonish task. What is the "right" or "better" way to do this? The reason I'm posting here is that I was hoping there might be a magic Cocoa object which just does it for me(!).

Thanks in advance, and apologies my dumb questions - there's a massive amount to learn, more than I expected.

Cheers,

Neil.
