DOS ain't dead - Device drivers: Changing the attribute word at install time?

Device drivers: Changing the attribute word at install time? (Developers)

Interesting because I just looked at the MS DOS 2.0 source code on Github and it looks like it does not look at the attributes until after the driver init routine returns:

https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/blob/master/v2.0/source/SYSINIT.ASM

The code you linked looks like it's a UPX device driver for whatever OpenDOS is. (I'm familiar with UPX as a command line program, not as a device driver.)
