<p><b>Notes:</b>
The OS/2 compatibility box supports the DOS 3.3 version of this call
except for the DWORD at offset 12h.
This call updates the DPB by reading the disk; the DPB may be accessed
via the DOS list of lists <a href="javascript:if(confirm('http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0000.htm \n\nThis file was not retrieved by Teleport Pro, because it was unavailable, or its retrieval was aborted, or the project was stopped too soon. \n\nDo you want to open it from the server?'))window.location='http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0000.htm#Table0'" tppabs="http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0000.htm#Table0"></a>(see #01627 at AH=52h) if disk access is not
desirable..
Undocumented prior to the release of DOS 5.0; only the DOS 4.0+
version of the DPB has been documented, however.
Supported by DR DOS 3.41+; DR DOS 3.41-6.0 return the same data as
MS-DOS 3.31.
IBM ROM-DOS v4.0 also reports invalid/network (AL=FFh) on the ROM drive
