Hard disk light control

AFAIK it''s not possible to directly controll it through software.

Watch out for advice from the successfull, they don''t want company

I think it''s controlled by the mobo.
You could always read something from the drive

Well, that''s what I was "afraid".

Thanks anyway!

Hy, it''s me again

I''ve given some thougts into this problem again, and I came up with memmory adresses. Well, I managed to controll the keyboard lights with 0040:0017 address... but can''t find the one on the HD.

And, isn''t the speaker connected to the mother board, and you can controll it easily controll it.

I''m not looking for a function like HD_LightOn(). I just want to controll it (with "any" necessary resources).

This has been bugging me for a while now ...

Why do you want to?

(I thought I replied to this earlier... must have 500''ed)

Look up "Ralf Brown''s Interrupt List" on google. That sucker has interrupts, ports, and memory addresses for just about everything that I''ve ever wanted.

500*7 (RAGE!)

So that when he hacks into some other guy''s PC and starts reading all his personal info, the other guy doesn''t see the HD flashing and get all pissed...


What other reason can you think of?
