0050h:0004h           Phantom Drive flag

Length: 1 byte

Reports the status of a single-drive system when mimicking a
two-drive system.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Examination of this byte will reveal the current status of the
single drive installed on a one drive system. By using this byte,
a programmer can avoid the message 'Insert disk for drive B:' when
working with a single-drive system.

Value Meaning
00h Acting as drive A
01h Acting as drive B
FFh Acting as drive A

Although the last value, FFh, is undocumented, FFh means the drive
letter has not been determined yet, so using the drive as drive A
will work correctly.

To determine if only one drive is installed, use the equipment
list (see Int 11h).
