     rStatus  On exit, the driver must place a DevStatusWord here.  Always
              set the Done bit (bit 8).  On an error, set the Done bit and
              the Error bit (bit 15) and put a Device Error Code in the low
              byte.

    bMediaID  On entry, this contains the Media Descriptor byte of the disk
              that DOS thinks is in the drive.

   pfFatSect  When Device Attribute bit 13 is set, this will contain the
              address of a 512-byte FAT sector of the disk that DOS thinks
              is in the drive.  You can use it to see if the disk has
              changed.

       pfBPB  You must set this to a filled-in BPBRec structure that
              describes the current media.

   Notes: ■ If the driver supports Removable Media (see Device Attribute),
            you should save a copy of the Volume ID of the disk for use in
            later DvRq 01H requests.

          ■ DOS fns 440dH 40H and 440dH 60H (set/query device parameters)
            are passed to your DvRq 13H (generic IOCTL) handler and
            settings there will affect values you return here.
