 On entry to the Strategy routine (see Device Driver Basics), DOS passes
 the address of a request structure in ES:BX (see DevRequestHdrRec).  The
 bCmd field of that structure (at offset 2) will contain one of the above
 command codes.

 The variable-length data that follows the DevRequestHdrRec varies from
 command to command.  Some commands share identical request structures.
 Others have a unique structure and some use only the request header to
 communicate with DOS.
