Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT is usable with IDE devices. We
have an IDE tape drive which we want to access with SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT
commands. We currently do something similar on Linux and FreeBSD machines
with a SCSI-IDE transport driver. I have tried to access the IDE tape drive
through the \\.\Scsi driver with minimal success. The CreateFile opens
without error, but DeviceIoControl requests fail with
SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT commands. We cannot use the standard TAPE class
drivers since we need to get more functionality than is available with
these.
If this will not work, then what other methods are available to issue direct
commands to Win2k IDE devices?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Armstrong
