IDE info, if not mistaken, should be reported directly from the drive,

yall on this, its where I'm at with FPOS, as soon as I find a new
place.The sources are on my tower that ATM I dont have access to. I dont
know C very well, but have a few links to port the code pretty much
intact.I'm doing the reverse from obj C to obj P/Delphi with no issues
yet.

Are we going to get replacements for ideinfo and idestatus at all?

for seeing this information
