MS-DOS 7 - DRIVE LOCKING AND FLUSHING

AH = 73h
DL = drive (0=current, 1=A:, etc.)
CL = which flag to get or set
00h drive flag???
01h drive's dirty-buffers flag
AL = subfunction
00h get indicated flag
01h set ???
CH = new value for indicated flag

bit 1:
??? (CL=00h only)

bit 3:
Dirty buffers exist for selected drive (CL=01h only)

Return:
CF clear if successful for AL=00h: AL = value of CL on entry

for CL=00h:
AH = new flag and 06h (i.e. bits 1 and 2 used)

for CL=01h:
AH = new flag and 08h (i.e. bit 3 used) (flag being taken from a table of bytes). CF set on error AX = error code (01h,0Fh,etc.) (see #01680) 7300h if function not supported

Note: These two subfunctions are available even when only the MS-DOS kernel is running
