This page gives various information about the current drive, as given by
DOS.

Logical drives are both real drives, and those created by the SUBST
command.

For the current drive, the drive type may not always be correct. There is
no standard way of telling if a drive is actually a ramdisk or similar.

A door lock is used by high density drives to let DOS know if a floppy
has been removed. Some removable hard drives may also use this.

A cluster is what DOS uses to keep track of data on the disk. A cluster
consists of several actual sectors of data. A standard hard disk will have
4 sectors in each cluster (2K of data.)

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
