Drive letter association on Win95

NTDEV
1

Is there a way to associate drive letter to VendorID or Physical serial
number under win95 family ?

For external drive attached with USB, 1394 etc., I can not use scsi cmd,
since I can not open the device thatway on CreateFile ( …) . On the
other hand ASPI cmd would give me the physical serial, but how could I
associate it with drive letter(s).

I tried to look at the IFS_Mgr interfaces, and struggling with the
internal DSs like
Shell resouces, volinfo, CDS etc. Using an example hook to IFS_Mgr, I
can grab quite a bit of infos but still not obvious yet that I could
associate with drv. Letter. Damn!, why do I end up w/hooking :).

For Apps, or using the above method, I can see the drive letter(s), and
it is thru the Filesystem stack, but ASPI goes outside of this until
SCSI port Manager.

Any help !

Well for now I got a solution, that is to find the drive letter
assignments from the registry. Hope it should be fine.

Thanks
