Adam,
I looked at what you suggested, and I do NOT think that is what Peter was
looking for. It’s in Intel assembly which suggests to me that it is for DOS,
Linux, and or Unix, and not compatible with a kernel mode windows driver. To
get specific QLogic bios information, Peters best bet is to use the boot
time BIOS of the QLogic adapter, or use an IOCTL_SCSI_MINIPORT call to the
QLogic mini-port, if QLogic supports a sub-command that will return the
information he needs.
If in a kernel driver, then all he needs to use is the facilities already
provide by PnP … StartDevice and or Read/Write configuration.

Do a search for SMBIOS, just did a quick one, and here is a link for a
program with source that reads the bios info:

Subject: [ntdev] Reading the bios settings programatically from the user
mode (or kernel mode) code
Hello Friends,
Is there any standard way to programatically read the BIOS
settings?
Basically I want to know whether a particular option of the
QLogic HBA adapter (fiber channel) is enabled. From my (user
mode) code I would like to check this and report the user to
change the settings before trying out my software - if a
particular option is not enabled.
Thanks in advance
Peter
