N: SIO Command DSTATS QUERY ($FF)

This is a command for Devices $71-$78 - The N: Device (see SIO-Commands-for-Device-IDs-$71-to-$78).

Description

This command is specifically for the implementation of CIO and other DOS level handlers (e.g. SpartaDOS X Kernel Drivers), to carry back specifics of a given SPECIAL SIO command. This is currently the DSTATS value (indicating read and write), since it is assumed any special commands utilize a 256 byte buffer, unless the DSTATS=0. If The value returned here is $FF, then the command is invalid, and the handler should react appropriately.

Parameters

DCB	Value
DDEVIC	$71
DUNIT	$01 - $04
DCOMND	$FF
DSTATS	$40
DBUF	1 byte buffer for holding DSTATS value, e.g. DSTATS
DTIMLO	$0F
DBYT	1
DAUX1	Special SIO Command to ask about
DAUX2	0
