DOS 3.0+ - IOCTL - CHECK IF BLOCK DEVICE REMOVABLE

AX = 4408h
BL = drive number (00h = default, 01h = A:, etc)

Return:
CF clear if successful AX = media type (0000h removable, 0001h fixed) CF set on error AX = error code (01h,0Fh) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes: In addition to the normal operation, if Stacker is installed, this call also sets the volume number at offset 58h in the Stacker device driver (except under DR DOS 3.41-5.0, which do not pass through this call to the driver; use AX=440Eh instead) (see AX=4404h"Stacker",AX=440Eh,INT 25/AX=CDCDh). This function was not supported by Digital Research's DOS Plus
