finding a zip

Hi all,

It is my early scripting days and I am writing a backup script to a zip
disk. I am having trouble writing a script that will distinguish between
a zip disk and a CD.
Some CDs still have free space so the expression

set backupdisk to name of every disk whose ejectable is true and free
space > 0

still returns a CD if it is present. Is there any property that I can
use to distinguish between them?
