Detecting drive ready in TPW 1.5

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to detect if a floppy drive is ready (diskette
inserted and door closed) in TPW 1.5, without Windows popping up a
dialog box. Under DOS I can do that using FindFirst, but under TPW
a dialog box pops up for FindFirst as well. Also, various ASM methods
using Int $13 seem to cause GPFs.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eyal Doron
