That interface is so obsolete it really doesn't matter much now.
Most people seem to use the more modern "hdparm -I" instead
of this ("hdparm -i") one.
For now, "hdparm -I" works just fine using HDIO_DRIVE_CMD,
but if somebody could show me how to use ATA PASSTHRU,
then I'll port it over to that.
Cheers
