Subject: How to find out if /dev/fd0 represents an existing floppy drive?

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away a program could find out if /dev/fd0 
really represented an existing floppy drive or not.

#define FD_DRIVE_PRESENT 8

Now that bit is unused.

In this millennium is there some way for a program to find out if /dev/fd0 
really represents an existing floppy drive?
