Actually, the serial.device fails dependent on DSR, and pretty much ignores
CD. You can always find out CDs status via the QUERY command.

Yes, ASDG provided an additional command which gives you control over the

ASDG's SER: and AUX: type handlers provide this type of command-line

with 'dir', as it makes no sense under the current Commodore specification.
