Int 21 Fn 4409 - Dos 3.1+ - Ioctl - Check If Block Device Remote [D]

AX = 4409h
BL = drive number (00h = default, 01h = A:, etc)

Return: CF clear if successful
DX = device attribute word
bit 15: drive is SUBSTituted
bit 13: (DR DOS 3.41/5.0 local drives only) always set
media ID needed
bit 12: drive is remote
bit 9: direct I/O not allowed
CF set on error
AX = error code (01h,0Fh) (see #1366 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes: on local drives, DX bits not listed above are the attribute word from
the device driver header (see #1332 at AH=52h); for remote drives,
the other bits appear to be undefined for MS-DOS versions prior to
5.0 (they are all cleared in DOS 5+)
checking whether DX=0800h on return appears to be a fairly reliable
method for detecting Microsoft's RAMDRIVE, though not for other
ramdisks (there appears to be no simple yet foolproof method for
detecting ramdisks, although the presence of only a single copy of
the FAT and only a single head on non-removable devices is a fairly
good indicator); for Windows95, RAMDRIVE returns DX=4800h
this function was not supported by Digital Research's DOS-Plus
