Why you want these
parameters from installed hard disk drives,
we don't ask.
Simple, you need ASHDGET library
and your application can get
MODEL, SERIAL number and
REVISION FIRMWARE number.

You will get DLL and static LIB version.
If you use C/C++ you can use static library and/or
DLL version if you like.
DLL version can be used from any programmer tool including
C/C++, Delphi, VB, XBASE++, FOX...

Using this library is simple. There is only ONE function.
Here is C declaration:

BOOL asHDid(int nHd, int nSn, LPSTR cBuffer);

nHD is number in range 0 to 3 (0 is first master IDE drive)

nSn is number 1,2 or 3 (1 mean you want model, 2 you want
serial number, 3 you want revision number)

cBuffer is pointer where to put information you request. Size of this string buffer must be at least 41 bytes including terminating zero.

IMPORTANT
We don't check buffer size.
Only IDE disks are supported.
In buffer you will get C string. If you get empty string that means we don't find that drive in the system, you must check parameters.

If you use this library with VB declare it by

Private Declare Function asHDid Lib "ashdget" _
(ByVal n as Integer, ByVal s as Integer, ByVal b as Long)
b is pointer to array of bytes

If you use this library with XBASE++

DLLFUNCTION asHDid( n_hd, n_ser, @ buffer) USING
STDCALL FROM ASFAN.DLL

THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
This will work under new versions of Windows
like NT/2000/XP and you don't need to have administrative rights.

Library is small and you can get DEMO version
to try, but you will get ONLY FIRST 5 CHARACTERS
for serial and revision number.
For model you will get FULL ID.
Test it, but if you want to
use it in your applications, you need to bye it.
