                      BX         Device ID

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      This interface is supported for multi-tasking
                      environments, where more than one process (or task)
                      may be executing in the system. Usually the
                      operating system will supply the handler for this
                      service; this way, the operating system can keep
                      track of which processes are using each device on
                      the system.

                      The operating system will use this service to
                      initiate the use of a device by a process.
