 Detecting last drive number used

Hi guys,

How would I detect the last drive number that was used?

According to my friend Robin Harbron, on the Commodore C64 I could do something like:

10 let drive = peek( 186 )
20 if drive = 0 then let drive = 8

Is there an equivalent or easier way to do this on the Commodore C16?

Many thanks,

Shaun.

If my memory serves well, the address is $AE, according to our ultimate memory map:

Thanks for the pointer. This works:

10 let i = i + 1: let d = peek( 174): if d = 0 then let d = 8
20 if i = 1 then load "music*", d, i
