How can you determine if your DVD-ROM reads DVD plus-r or DVD minus-r format?

Just ask it :) Look at the logo on the DVD-ROM drawer - the logos aren't the most obvious e.g. the DVD-R logo on mine is actually the word DVD over an oval which has the minus in the middle, whereas the + logo is the letters RW with 'DVD+ReWriteable' (in a ludicrously small font) underneath.
