{

 The code below identifies some of the IDE params. Actually, it identifies
 most of what you'd ever need.
 Theres only one catch. The main program checks the letter given on the
 command line using a function:
 DriveValid(Drive: Char; var Drv: Byte): Boolean; assembler;
 This returns the numeric equivalent of the Drive character into Drv and
 returns true/false if the Drive is Valid. The trick is the validity check
 is done by DOS. Meaning that on my machine, my second drive, a HPFS drive
 won't show up unless I stick something like Drive=3 (Second HDD) and
 disable the DriveValid check. I hope this helps.
