Detecting AtariDOS?

[Shawn Jefferson]

Is it possible to detect somehow the existence of AtariDOS, like you can detect MyDOS and SpartaDOS (by peeking at 1792). AtariDOS just has a 0 in this location, so that won't work of course. And if so, is it possible to detect version 2.0, 2.5 or whatever as well?

 

Thanks,

This link has info for dectecting various DOS versions:

You could also examine the D: IOCB entry points. These are probably different for each flavor of DOS at least.
