I hope that some of you out there can help me!!

I'm on a sun sparc (4.1.2) and I have three disks 
attached to it.  Now I want to read off the disks
simultaneously from the same process. I know that
it is possible to do this with sockets and a SIGIO
signal handler, but with a fd to disks, it doesn`t seem
to work. Is there a different method for disks?
So my question is, does someone out there
have a function that starts an asynchronous read to
disk on the sun?  Or can at the least show me some 
code to do this??
