I don't know what a cabbage dicer is (has it to do with dices?),
but if it is guaranteed that cd is a cd, how are the arabican
device names (extend for klinzhai, chinese, japanese etc.)
supposed to be?
There should really kind of *call (maybe IOGETTYPE or so) which
can be used to get back a bitmapped set of properties of a given
device (bit0= bit1= etc.)

I remember, when I wrote a DOS Ramdisk driver, I had to set a 16bit
driver flag, too.
