I was wondering how I could get the ID of the Pocket Computer in the disk drive. I tried disk,getID() but that just returns nil

I don't think you can.
I tried that in game.
The CC wiki has this page which shows all the exposed methods for disk drive peripherals. One of them is this:So I assume that might work. I think you have to specify the side the disk drive is on for it to work. Or the network ID if it is connected via a wired network.disk.getID(string side)
I tried that in game.

Like I said it returns nil
Ah, just read closer in the wiki and it says:
Returns: the disk ID, or nil if the drive does not contain a Floppy Disk
Which in this case, it is not a floppy disk, so it returns nil. I guess there is no way to get the ID.
Sorry.

It strikes me that this might be worth adding to the mod, so I've shunted the thread over from AaP to Suggestions.

Within the next version. We don't know how soon a new release is going to be out, so you'll just have to wait and see.
