<p><b>Return:</b><br>AX = BABEh if installed

4.0 = 0400h (Windows 3.1)

</PRE>
<p><b>Notes:</b>
Most of the SMARTDRV API, including this call, is supported by
PC-Cache v8.0 and recent versions of the Norton Caches.
The internal name for SMARTDRV is "BAMBI", hence the magic "BABE"..
If DBLSPACE.BIN is installed but SMARTDRV has not yet been installed,
then calls of this function with CX<>EBABh on entry cause
DBLSPACE.BIN to display the error message
"Cannot run SMARTDrive 4.0 with DoubleSpace" and abort the caller
with INT 21/AX=4C00h.
Since the Novell DOS 7 - DR-DOS 7.03 NWCACHE supports a similar
install check at this function, but the returned registers
contain different data, the caller must take the returned AX value
into account to ensure proper interpretation of the returned info.
The caller should ensure CX <> 0EDCh to avoid any interaction
with the NWCACHE and COMMAND.COM special case of CX=0EDCh.
Although this is an install check, NWCACHE always flushes delayed
writes to disk, when calling this function with CX<>0EDCh or while
/FLUSH:ON is active, but this is nothing to rely upon. The reason
for this could be to get more accurate statistics, while SMARTDRV
just takes a on-the-fly snapshot of the statistic vars..
The private NWCACHE/NLCACHE install check INT2Fh/D8C0h does not flush
to disk, and therefore can be used by callers that must ensure
the buffers aren't flushed on this function (e.g. alternative
command shells may need this to make their "flush before prompt"
feature configurable)..
The NWCACHE 0EDCh special case will most probably vanish with
future issues of NWCACHE (2.0+)..
SMARTDRV v3.x had a completely different API using IOCTL calls, which
was also supported by the Norton Caches
<p><b>BUG:</b>
Although DS and ES registers are listed as unmodified, some
releases of SMARTDRV seem to trash the DS register, at least the
MS-DOS 6.2+ KEYB takes care to preserve the DS register when calling
this function.
