I tried this, and it throws an error 20148<?> after scanning the disk for several minutes:

tell application "Finder"
info for startup disk
end tell

So, that's not the solution...



The finder seems to be able to identify various sorts of ejectable
disks, ie CD-Rom, Zip, Jaz, each coming up with its own icon. I'm guessing this happens through extensions, or through disk drivers.

Is there any way to get the finder to pass this information through
to applescript? I want to be able to identify these disks by media type, so that we know what media information came in on.
