DriverGestalt is a CodeWarrior 10 C sample that will scan the disk drive queue and perform a DriverGestalt call to the various drivers. It demonstrates how to gather information on such things as the driver version, the device type (disk, tape), the device interface (scsi,atapi,ata), it's boot PRAM value and if it supports drive flushing.
