 indicate whether an output request can be satisfied without waiting.

     rStatus  On exit, the driver must place a DevStatusWord here.  Always
              set the Done bit (bit 8).

              If the driver is unable to accept any additional characters,
              set the Busy bit (bit 9).  Otherwise, clear bit 9 to indicate
              that a call to DvRq 08H will be satisfied without waiting.

   Notes: ■ Output devices can be optimized by processing DvRq 10H (output
            until busy).
