    No. FreeDOS doesn't splits HMA to blocks with headers, similar to MCB
in conventional memory.


Could we maybe store a char or word in HMA which is at a standardized
location which we can read if we know we're running FreeDOS?  I'm not sure
what MS-DOS does in this respect?

If you are looking for a FD specific way of determining if and where in the HMA the buffers are, why not use the value in the ListOfLists that indicates if the buffers are in HMA (1) or not(0)? Or use the address of the buffers chain from the LoL to determine where the buffers are stored?
