I can confirm that this method (func 0Eh and func 19h) works nice and I also use it in my programs.
It does not trigger the disk access.

What can be chalanging is the detection of the fantom drives (I HATE this feature and I am disappointed that FreeDOS kernel maintainers refused my proposal to add the switch to remove this "feature")
