- 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.
