  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This subfunction (DOS 3.0 and later only) indicates whether or not a
    device has removable media (such as a floppy disk or a removable
    cartridge hard disk). A value of 00h in AX means the device is
    removable; a value of 01h means it is fixed. AX returns an error code
    of 0Fh if an invalid drive has been specified in BL.
