Int 2F Fn 1603  - MS Windows/386 - Get Instance Data                       [W]

   AX = 1603h

Return: AX = 5248h ('RH') if supported
       DS:SI -> Windows/386 instance data (see below)

Notes: reportedly supported by RM Nimbus MS-DOS 3.3 kernel
   this function is called by DOSMGR when AX=1607h/BX=0015h is not
     supported, as is the case in DOS versions prior to 5.0
   see Geoff Chappell's book _DOS_Internals_ for additional discussions of
     this function, DOSMGR's behavior, and instancing in general
