VRP_demand_flags

Demand flags to identify the device requirements the FSD must satisfy. Can be a combination of these values:

VRP_dmd_small_memory	Data buffers must reside in the lower 16 Mb of memory.
VRP_dmd_word_align	Data buffers must be word aligned.
VRP_dmd_dword_align	Data buffers must be double word aligned.
VRP_dmd_phys_sgd	Scatter/gather descriptors must contain physical addresses. If this value is not given, descriptors contain linear addresses.
VRP_dmd_phys_sgd_ptr	Address to the first scatter/gather descriptor (IOR_sgd_lin_phys) must be a physical address. If this value is not given, the first address must be a linear address.
VRP_dmd_do_a_b_toggling	Enable toggling between floppy drives A and B. When this value is set for a single floppy drive system, the volume tracker the toggles between the A and B drives when accessed.
VRP_dmd_removable_supp	Device is removable.
VRP_dmd_lock_unlock_media	Media supports software locking.
VRP_dmd_load_eject_media	Media supports electronic eject.
VRP_dmd_clear_media_chg	Media supports command to clear media change.
VRP_dmd_no_xcl_required	Media allows absolute read/writes without an exclusive lock.
VRP_dmd_pageability	Indicates that access to this volume can cause paging.

VRP_event_flags

Event flags to identify special events. The FSD may ignore these flags provided that it still prevents data corruption. In such cases, the FSD is notified of the event on the next I/O request to the volume. Can be a combination of these values:

VRP_ef_media_changed	The media containing this volume indicated change since most recent I/O operation.
VRP_ef_media_uncertain	The media containing this volume may have been changed since the most recent I/O operation.
VRP_ef_prompting	The media containing this volume is currently being prompted for.
VRP_ef_input_share	The input stream of a character device is sharable.
VRP_ef_output_share	The output stream of a character device is sharable.
VRP_ef_user_canceled	The user has hit CANCEL on a request for reinserting this volume.
VRP_ef_write_protected	This volume is currently write protected.
VRP_ef_real_mode_mapped	This volume is currently accessed through the real mode mapper.
VRP_ef_ios_locked	Device containing given volume is locked.

VRP_max_sgd

Maximum number of scatter/gather descriptors that may be built. The FSD should use the smaller of this value and 17.
