Thanks Valdis...

I am very much aware that the solution will vary from one system to the
next, especially in the environment that I currently work.

The reason I was asking without giving any specifics, is that before
having to go out and getting documents to do the thing, I was wondering
if there wasn't any system on which it would be easy to do without having
to get the doc.

For example, because I havn't taken the time to look it up, is there any
standard on an IDE, SCSI or an AT type controller card for PC's? Does a
MAC have any signal that's standard on it? Etc...

OR... do I really have to do it on the schematic level of a Hard Disk,
and there's no way to do it from the controller level?

P.S. Once again, is there a list I can subscribe to that would be a bit
more suited to this type of question?

Thanks again.
