However, DOS will only copy the first 20 file handles into a child PSP (including the one created on EXEC). in an OS/2 DOS box, values of D0h-FEh in the open file table indicate device drivers network redirectors based on the original MS-Net implementation use values of 80h-FEh in the open file table to indicate remote files; Novell NetWare also uses values from FEh down to 80h or one more than FILES= (whichever is greater) to indicate remote files (except on OS/2, where is uses CFh down to 80h) MS-DOS 5.00 incorrectly fills the FCB fields when loading a program high; the first FCB is empty and the second contains the first parameter some DOS extenders place protected-mode values in various PSP fields such as the "parent" field, which can confuse PSP walkers. Always check either for the CDh 20h signature or that the suspected PSP is at the beginning of a memory block which owns itself (the preceding paragraph should be a valid MCB with "owner" the same as the suspected PSP). Novell NetWare updates the fields at offsets 3Eh and 3Fh without checking that a legal PSP segment is current; see AH=50h for further discussion for 4DOS and Windows95, the command tail may be more than 126 characters; in that case, the length byte will be set to 7Fh (with an 0Dh in the 127th position at offset FFh), and the first 126 characters will be stored in the PSP, with the entire command line in the environment variable CMDLINE; under at least some versions of 4DOS, the byte at offset FFh is *not* set to 0Dh, so there is no terminating carriage return in the PSP's command tail.

if made of a host manager which does not support the variant, only four bytes will be returned. If the variant is supported, Adaptec's WINASPI.DLL assumes that the host manager is an "advanced" one which operates in either real or protected mode (and thus does not require a DPMI INT 31/AX=0301h call to be invoked from protected mode). Support of the five-byte variant also appears to imply that an advanced ASPI host manager uses no temporary storage space except the SRB (see #1141) and the stack, and that it is fully reentrant. if called with a standard request for four bytes, even Adaptec's advanced drivers return only the requested four bytes containing the ASPI entry point address the function address is called with the address of a SCSI Request Block (see #1141) on the stack and the caller must clean up the stack SeeAlso: AX=440Ch"ASPITAPE",INT 11/AH=FFh"WD7000" Format of ASPI IOCTL result: Offset Size Description (Table 1139) 00h DWORD function address 04h BYTE number of SCSI host adapters supported by host manager (Table 1140) Values for ASPI request number: 00h "HA_INQ" host adapter inquiry / extended host adapter inquiry 01h "GET_TYPE" get device type 02h "EXEC_SIO" execute SCSI I/O 03h "ABORT_SRB" abort SRB 04h "RESET_DEV" reset SCSI device 05h "SET_HAPRMS" set host adapter parameters 06h get disk drive information Format of SCSI Request Block (64 bytes): Offset Size Description (Table 1141) 00h BYTE request number (see #1140) 01h BYTE request status (see #1142) 02h BYTE host adapter ID 03h BYTE request flags (see #1143) 04h DWORD reserved (0) ---request 00h--- 08h BYTE (ret) number of host adapters 09h BYTE (ret) target adapter ID 0Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) SCSI manager ID 1Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) host adapter ID 2Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) host adapter-unique parameters ---extended request 00h--- 04h 2 BYTEs (call) extended request signature 55h AAh (ret) if extended request supported, reply AAh 55h 06h WORD (call) length of extended buffer at offset 3Ah (ret) number of bytes returned in extended buffer 08h BYTE (ret) number of host adapters 09h BYTE (ret) target adapter ID 0Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) SCSI manager ID 1Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) host adapter ID 2Ah 16 BYTEs (ret) host adapter-unique parameters 3Ah N BYTEs extended buffer 3Ah WORD features (see #1144) 3Ch WORD maximum scatter/gather list length 3Eh DWORD maximum SCIS data transfer size (0 = unlimited) ---request 01h--- 08h BYTE target ID 09h BYTE logical unit number 0Ah BYTE (ret) device type (see #1147) ---request 02h--- 08h BYTE target ID 09h BYTE logical unit number 0Ah DWORD data allocation length (ret) residual byte length (if supported and requested) 0Eh BYTE sense allocation length 0Fh DWORD data buffer pointer 13h DWORD next request pointer (for linking) 17h BYTE CDB length 18h BYTE (ret) host adapter status (see #1141) 19h BYTE (ret) target status (see #1146) 1Ah DWORD post routine address (see #1153) 1Eh WORD real mode Post DS 20h DWORD SRB pointer 24h WORD reserved 26h DWORD SRB physical address 2Ah 22 BYTEs SCSIMGR$ workspace 40h N BYTEs CCB, including sense data (20-24 bytes) ---request 03h--- 08h DWORD address of SRB to abort ---request 04h--- 08h BYTE target ID 09h BYTE logical unit number 0Ah 14 BYTEs reserved 18h BYTE (ret) host adapter status (see #1145) 19h BYTE (ret) target status (see #1146) 1Ah DWORD post routine address 1Eh 34 BYTEs workspace ---request 05h--- 08h 16 BYTEs host adapter-unique parameters ---request 06h--- 08h BYTE target ID 09h BYTE logical unit number 0Ah BYTE disk drive flags (see #1148) 0Bh BYTE INT 13h drive number 0Ch BYTE preferred head number translation 0Dh BYTE preferred sector size translation 0Eh 10 BYTEs reserved SeeAlso: #1149 (Table 1142) Values for ASPI request status: 00h not done yet 01h completed successfully 02h aborted by host 04h SCSI I/O error 80h invalid 81h no adapter 82h no device attached else status SeeAlso: #1141 Bitfields for ASPI request flags: Bit(s) Description (Table 1143) 0 posting enabled 1 linking enabled 2 residual byte length reported in Data Allocation Length field 3 transfer from SCSI target to host 4 transfer from host to SCSI target 5 scatter/gather 7-6 reserved Note: no data is transferred if both bits 3 and 4 are set;
