Hi Mike,

I haven't used Vlad's class, so I didn't know exactly how (or what information) was being returned. The only way I know to retrieve this information would be by a call to the ROM BIOS interrupt 13h function 15h. Normally, the Win API exposes these interrupt calls. In this case, I can't find anything that does. Further, I have no idea, how you would do it from Windows.

Sorry,
George
