(* A program to test some interesting behaviour of Int 21h,
function 44h subfunction 08h.....the MicroSoft documentation I
have seen indicates only that this returns an error if the flags
register is set. however, it seems that it also identifies the
default bootable logical drive, whether the machine was booted
from a floppy, and discriminates between Ram drives and normal
HDrives.....& more! Would appreciate your assistance in
running this test and returning this information to me by mail.
The results will be published in the FIDO Pascal echo.
**************** WARNING *****************

(* Be sure that drive is UPCASED ! - This function goes to DOS
internal structures to get params for floppy type drives.
(Including Bernoulli). Because it tells DOS to rebuild the
BPB (Bios Parameter Block) for drives with removable media,
the Media Descriptor byte will always return the boot
paramaters for the drive, ie: a 1.44M floppy will always
return 1.44M, regardless of the size disk that is currently
actually in the drive !!

HardDrive with the DOS boot partition on it. It DOES NOT
indicate that the machine was booted from that drive !!!
