I'm looking to write a nice little hard drive part routine and was reading
through the include files (1.3) and I'll assume that I want to use the
"scsidisk.i" file and not the "hardblocks.i".. It makes it sound like you talk
through the hddisk.device which interprets commands into either ST-506
commands OR SCSI commands ?!? By the way, I'm using a 2090 controller with an
ST-506 drive.. What I'd really like to do is be able to read the boot-block
where the (oops, I meant root-block) information is stored that holds where to
park the drive heads, etc.. Can anyone help me?? I don't really think that
it should be any big deal for the most part..
