Virtual DMA Specification (VDS) - GET VERSION

AX = 8102h
DX = 0000h

Return:
CF clear if successful AH = major version number AL = minor version number BX = product number (see #03217) CX = product revision number always 0000h for QMAPS and HPMM.SYS always 0001h for Microsoft's EMM386.EXE v4.20-4.41 DX = flags (see #03219) SI:DI = maximum DMA buffer size CF set on error AL = error code (see #03218)

Note: Bit 5 of 0040h:007Bh is supposed to be set if VDS is supported; this is apparently not always the case
