Ioctl_scsi_passthrough

[Robin England]

Hello

From a PBCC program, I would like to issue the ATA IDENTIFY (0xEC) command to an IDE drive attached to a WinXP box and get the 512 byte response.

From web-based research, it seems that IOCTL_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH is the way to go. However, I don't know where to begin.

Does anyone have any prior experience of doing this or maybe a working PB example they would be willing to share?

Thanks
Robin

Well thanks for the millions of responses... (only joking!)

For anyone else interested in this I eventually did find some very useful PB code courtesy of Frank Crowder in the forum here...

Certainly helped me. Thank you Frank.
