I wonder how you wanna turn it off: the SCSI protocol does only know about locical block numbers, so if you wanna interface the drive with some int 0x13 C/H/S value, you always end up with some sort of translation. If you speak directly in SCSI block numbers, nothing will be translated at any time. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
