    With cleared up, I mean I cleared up what the problem is. As you can see this thread has been updated, and I now got 3 things that I want help with:

    1a. $ivcCylsHigh is 0. That can't be right! Or? Actually I get:

    $ucCylsLow = 30515;
    $ivcCylsHigh = 0;
    $uMediaType = 12;
    $uTracksPerCyl = 255;
    $uSectsPerTrack = 63;
    $uBytesPerSect = 512;

    1b. Also, Im not sure about: setFilePointer( $hFile, $ivOffset, $ioivOffsetHigh, $uFromWhere );
    I mean, how to use the $ioivOffsetHigh to get higher than 4 gigs?

    2. How to make QueryDosDevice work?
      OK, you cleared up the question, so the Monastery can have a look at it, but I'm afraid that it will take a Monk who is much more into "programming the bare metal" than myself. Sorry!
