    I need a way to determine what the capabilities are of attached devices. Specifically, I need a list of writable drives and if they are CD, DVD or HD. Is there a CLI methodology for accomplishing this? TIA.

    Maybe. Thanks for the reply. I did not know they had CLI interfaces. I’ll check it out.

    If they don’t work you can always parse the IOKIt registry with something like

    [code]ioreg -c IODVDServices -w 0 | grep -i DVD[/code]
