if made of a host manager which does not support the variant, only four bytes will be returned. If the variant is supported, Adaptec's WINASPI.DLL assumes that the host manager is an "advanced" one which operates in either real or protected mode (and thus does not require a DPMI INT 31/AX=0301h call to be invoked from protected mode). Support of the five-byte variant also appears to imply that an advanced ASPI host manager uses no temporary storage space except the SRB and the stack, and that it is fully reentrant. if called with a standard request for four bytes, even Adaptec's advanced drivers return only the requested four bytes containing the ASPI entry point address the function address is called with the address of a SCSI
