AMIS v3.0+ - INSTALLATION CHECK

AL = 00h
AH = multiplex number for program

Return:
AL = 00h if free
AL = FFh if multiplex number in use
CX = binary version number (CH = major, CL = minor)
DX:DI -> signature string (see #02569) identifying the program
using the multiplex number

Format of AMIS signature string:

Offset  Size    Description     (Table 02569)
00h  8 BYTEs   blank-padded manufacturer's name (possibly abbreviated)
08h  8 BYTEs   blank-padded product name
10h 64 BYTEs   ASCIZ product description (optional, may be a single 00h)

Note: It is not necessary to reserve a full 64 bytes for the description, just enough to store the actual ASCIZ string
