INT 21 - DUBLDISK.SYS v2.6 - GET INFO
AX = 4404h
BL = drive number of DoubleDisk drive (00h = default, 01h = A:, etc.)
CX = number of bytes (000Ah-0014h, call ignored otherwise)
DS:DX -> data record (see #01530)
Return: CF clear if successful
AX = number of bytes read
CF set on error
AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)
Program: DUBLDISK.SYS is the device driver portion of DoubleDisk, a disk
expander by Vertisoft Systems, Inc.
InstallCheck: for v2.6, scan memory for the signature "FAT 2.6 byte:",
which is immediately followed by a data table (see #01531)
BUG: VOPT (a disk optimizer by Golden Bow Software) assumes that any driver
which returns the "correct" number of bytes when the first word of
the buffer for the data record contains the signature value 4444h is
DoubleDisk; a workaround is for the non-DoubleDisk driver to return
no data if the signature is present
