I'm looking for a program that can access the low level operations
of the disk drives.  This include moving the head to a given track, turning
the motor on/off, and testing the various status lines coming from the 
drive.

I would prefer public-domain/shareware, but leads to commercial products
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John Kolen
