   Well WinMe says it DOS 8.0 ...   
      
   this peace of code   
      
   var reg: Registers;   
     with Reg do   
     begin   
       ah := $44;   
       al := $0d;   
       bl := Ord(UpCase(Drive)) - Ord('A') + 1;   
       ch := $08;   
       cl := $6f;   
       ds := seg(buf);   
       dx := ofs(buf);   
       flags := 0;   
       msdos(reg);   
       write(Drive,': ');   
       if (flags and fcarry) > 0 then   
       begin   
         if ax = 1 then write('Illegal function '); else   
         if ax = 2 then write('Invalid drive '); else   
         write('Unknown error');   
       end;   
      
   throws me an "Unknown error" for every drive I've got, no matter if I   
   run it from a WinMe Dosbox or plain DOS.   
      
   If I set CL to $60 then it gives me drive information for existing   
   drives in plain DOS and Dosbox, but in a Dosbox it throws "Unknown   
   error", with AX set to $0F, for a non valid drive letter, when it   
   should throw "Invalid drive" error, as it in fact does in plain DOS.   
   (compiled in TP 6.0)   
      
   I'll see what it does in Win98 (have no SE available here) and report   
   back.
