MEM 0070h:016Ch - DR-DOS 7.02-7.03 - "DEVNO" AUX/PRN PORTIBM PC Portable (uses same BIOS as XT) ASSIGNMENTS
Size:	2 BYTEs

016Ch	BYTE  PRN: assignment (0..2 for LPT1:..LPT3: (3 for LPT4:); default: 1)
016Dh	BYTE  AUX: assignment (0..3 for COM1:..COM4:; default: 1)

Notes:	As long as the built-in AUX: or PRN: drivers are in effect, these
	  settings can be transparently reassigned at the DR-OpenDOS 7.02 /
	  DR-DOS 7.03 DOS BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware.  The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. device driver level (that is below DOS
	  redirection etc., but above ROM(Read-Only Memory) A memory for program storage which may not be changed by the program as it runs.

Undocumented information tends to change -- often dramatically -- between successive revisions of a product, since the manufacturer has no obligation to maintain compatibility in behavior which is not explicitly stated.
	  CONFIG.SYS AUX=0|1..4 and PRN=0|1..3|4 directive, where 1..4 
	  specifies COM1:..COM4: or LPT1:..LPT4: and the high speed bypass 0
	  selects the previous hardwired equivalence of AUX: with COM1: and
	  PRN: with LPT1: at this level, saving a few clock cycles. The system
	  defaults to AUX=1 and PRN=1 (that is 0 in the internal variables).
	If the high speed bypass was not enabled, the assigment can be changed
	  anytime later by updating these bytes, e.g. by a future issue of the
	  MODE utility. If the highspeed bypass has been enabled, changes have
	  no effect.
	The LPT4 setting (or corresponding value 3) is valid for
	  DR-OpenDOS 7.02 and DR-DOS 7.02, but due to a bug introduced with the
	  partial removal of the LPT4: device, it must not be used under
	  DR-DOS 7.03.
	The address 0070h:016Ch is only valid for DR-OpenDOS 7.02 up to
	  DR-DOS 7.03 (BDOS 73h), and will most probably change with future
	  releases of DR-DOS!
	These bytes are local for each task running.
