I recently posted an article asking how to access a hard
disk partition table.  It has been pointed out to me that
using int 13h to read head=0, track=0, sector=1 should work.
Since it doesn't work, it occurred to me that there must
be something strange about my hard disk.

I just recently "upgraded" to an SCSI drive.  Does this make
a difference?  I'm assuming that it does.  Does anyone
know how to do an absolute disk read for an SCSI drive?
The controller is a Seagate ST102 Host Adapter if that
helps.

Any and all pointers, information, or code fragments are
welcome.

Thanks!

Scott H.
