Could someone explain what is meant by "DISKENV"? As far as I have read
and understand, to find the in-memory rendition of the data found for
mounted disks, I must write a routine to chase the list of devices looking
for those associated with my driver (using my driver's ASCII name) and
the look for the desired sub unit by somehow knowing its ASCII name too.

I don't know how to do the latter. Sure would like to add code to my
driver so's it could automatically discover the extents of the disk
partition for any arbitrary subunit. Also-- still looking to learn what
is passed in D0 to the driver OPENDEVICE routine.
