Detecting REU + VICE

I'm looking for reliable method of detecting REU on different machines (c64/128) and VICE. Either I'm doing something wrong or the only really stable method (without actually writing to REU banks like shown here: http://www.codebase64.org/doku.php?id=base:reu_detect) is this one:

lda #$00
sta $df00
cmp $df00
beq noreu

The following code fails on my C128D:

At this point I don't need the size of REU as I assume that every single one will provide me with 128KB at least and this is as much as I need.

Thanks in advance

Plain reading of registers without an actual transfer is likely to fail with quite a few cartridges. So, what Burglar sez.

Ok, thanks. I was more afraid of messing around in $DFxx area could lead to unpredictable behavior/crashes with some other (not REU) cartridges.
