DEVICE DRIVER FORMAT                             

       A device  driver  is  a  COM or EXE file that contains all of the
       code needed to control an add-in device. It has a  special header
       to identify it as  a  device,  define  the strategy and interrupt
       entry points, and define its various attributes.

       NOTE:     For  device  drivers  the COM file must not use the ORG
                 100h. Since the driver does not use the program segment
                 prefix,  it is simply loaded without offset.  Therefore
                 the memory image file  must  have an origin of 0 (ORG 0
                 or no ORG statement).
