<p><b>Notes:</b>
Some implementations of Remote (Initial) Program Loader (RPL/RIPL)
don't set bit 0 to indicate a "virtual" floppy drive, although the
RPL requires access to its memory image through a faked drive A:.
This may have caused problems with releases of DOS 3.3x and earlier,
<PRE>
<p><b>which assumed A:</b><br>And B: to be invalid drives then and would discard
any attempts to access these drives. Implementations of RPL should
set bit 0 to indicate a "virtual" floppy..
The IBM PC DOS 3.3x-2000 IBMBIO.COM contains two occurences of code
sequences like:
INT 11h
JMP SHORT skip
DB 52h,50h,53h; "RPS"
<p><b>skip:</b><br>OR AX,1
TEST AX,1
While at the first glance this seems to be a bug since it just
wastes memory and the condition is always true, this could well be
a signature for an applyable patch to stop it from forcing AX bit 0
to be always on. MS-DOS IO.SYS does not contain these signatures,
however.
</PRE>
<p><b>BUGs:</b>
Some old BIOSes didn't properly report the count of floppy drives
installed to the system. In newer systems INT 13h/AH=15h can be
used to retrieve the number of floppy drives installed..
Award BIOS v4.50G and v4.51PG erroneously set bit 0 even if there are
no floppy drives installed; use two calls to INT 13/AH=15h to
determine whether any floppies are actually installed
