Can someone give >me some source for doing that? First off, this is a DOS-specific question. I see you posted to several groups -- I believe comp.os.msdos.programmer might be a good one to add your question to. However, I believe your answer is specific to the type of bus you're using. (Probably IDE or SCSI). I know that SCSI has a command to fetch device information, and you can find what you need from any decent SCSI protocol manual.
