Int 21 Fn 0E - DOS 1+ - Select Default Drive [D]
AH = 0Eh
DL = new default drive (00h = A:, 01h = B:, etc)
Return: AL = number of potentially valid drive letters
Notes: under Novell NetWare, the return value is always 32, the number of
drives that NetWare supports
under DOS 3+, the return value is the greatest of 5, the value of
LASTDRIVE= in CONFIG.SYS, and the number of drives actually present
on a DOS 1.x/2.x single-floppy system, AL returns 2 since the floppy
may be accessed as either A: or B:
otherwise, the return value is the highest drive actually present
DOS 1.x supports a maximum of 16 drives, 2.x a maximum of 63 drives,
and 3+ a maximum of 26 drives
