Int 21 Fn 4404  - Combi-disk V1.13 - Get Data Record                       [c]

   AX = 4404h
   BL = drive number (00h = default, 01h = A:, etc)
   CX =  (length of data packet)
   DS:DX -> buffer for data packet (see below)

Return: CF clear if successful
       AX = number of bytes actually transferred
   CF set on error
       AX = error code (01h,05h,06h,0Dh) (see AH=59h)
Program: COMBI-disk is a shareware combination cache and RAMdisk sharing a
     single pool of memory by Vadim V. Vlasov

Note:  the installation check consists of scanning the valid drives for one
     which returns a correctly-sized data packet with the proper
     signature in the first field
