| During the final stage of the Uniflash gui program Liggy and I were discussing some new features. In order to realize them we had to find out how certain commands were sent to the NEC drives. I created a small program that would allow us to trace this data to a logfile. This program now called TraceSPTI helped us to discover new things about the NEC drives and after several remarks by Liggy to make this program public available I decided to do so  So if you are interrested in how programs like WinBType or DVDInfo are talking to your drive, you might give this program a try. It can be downloaded from: http://www.norocketscience.com/downl...pTraceSpti.exe Some final remaks: TraceSPTI requires a real win32 operating system like Windows 2000 or Windows XP Be sure to read the ReadMe file and to check the settings before running this program. Happy tracing... r-man

| Hehe, cool. Maybe this'll work better than the bsaspi logger. |

| Sorry to bring this topic out from the dead, but just want to congratulate the author. Very, very usefull program. Helped me fetch a lot of drive specific commands. Does anyone know if there is such program written for DOS? Or how is the drive accessed there? |

| When we are on it, I've made a small ASPI logger a couple of weeks ago. I used this to find out why cdrecord had buffer underrun problems with newer pioneer dvd recorders. Quote:

| Hello Alexander, Nice little program. Simillar to bsaspi. And works fine with some programs. You re probably correct about the DOS loger. It communicated directly there. Will have to find a diffrent way to find the drive specific commands. Thanks! |

| Isn't there any kind of DOS emulator which would allow to catch direct hardware accesses?

| Not that I know off. Maybe Vmware or Virtual PC? They use some kind of drivers for the drive access. Haven't tried it yet. |

| What about Dosbox. Not sure however if hardware access to drive is passed through.

| I think this one is mainly for playing old DOS games. Not sure if CD-ROM is supported. |

| It is very well possible to catch I/O accesses on DOS, I have written such code 10 years ago or so. Instead of speculating about direct or indirect accesses, read the Intel manuals. |

| Hello spath, Do you perhaps have any example code or some specific tips on this matter? Thanks |
