I would add them and see if you could make them useful somehow.

Drive return a Char so it not possible to use it to indicate the mounted device (4 characters) corresponding to the actual directory. Even under windows, i don't think many people use it since it does not support UNC files names.
I cam make a new property device corresponding to the mounted device under linux and to the UNC names under windows.

In Delphi 4 these controls are in the win31 section only for backward compatibility and shouldn't be used (in D4). So I don't think they will be used that much. (Since now you have the file open dialog and you don't have to create then yourself)

I think it is good to distinguish between obviously different drives like floppy, CDROM and "hard disks", but not good to distinguish between different hard disks, for the user can't be expected to know one from the other anyway.

This may involve tricky API stuff to locate removable/network (nfs/smbmount) drives

Under linux, how the properties Drive from TFileListBox and TDirectoryListBox should react?
I suggest that it is only a dummy property that does nothing and return an empty string.

I think also that TDriveComboBox should be available for compatibility only even if under linux it is useless.

Is it ok?
