Hi, Im kind of new to djgpp in general so forgive my ignorance, but I 
was wandering if there was a way to directly access the hard drives to 
make the actuator move to a specific track.. It'd also be nice to find 
out how many tracks are on a given hard drive and how many hard drives 
there are. 
 Im guessing this will have to be done using some inline assembly or 
someething but I have no idea how to go about doing that. I'm hopeing to 
build an amateur laser light show :)
	Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
