Through the use of Windows IOCTLs IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH and IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT, busTRACE 7.0 is able to submit an IDENTIFY DEVICE request to your ATA/ATAPI devices. All of this is done in user mode. No kernel driver is required.
You can view the Identify page in its hex format (256 words) or you can select to have us decode the most frequently used fields. You can copy the hex or text output to the clipboard to share the results with others.
NOTE: The ability to request the Identify page is only supported under Windows XP SP2 (and above), including the x64 versions of Windows
