Hello,
I need to know how to make a condition like "if diskIsIn = true then…" which would be true if a floppy disk is inside the disk drive of the computer or false if there is none.

Thanks

Bomb Bloke's suggestion will return true if the inserted disk is a floppy disk or a music disk.
If you want to tell them apart, use disk.hasData("sideDriveIsOn") (returns true if a floppy disk is inserted).
