should anyone need to implement it:LBA = (((cylinder * heads_per_cylinder + heads )         * sectors_per_track ) + sector - 1)Both of these can also be used with either LCHS or PCHS.If using LCHS, then you must use LCHS drive parameters.If using PCHS, then you must use PCHS drive parameters.The "N-Shift" Algorithm used for LCHS to PCHS translation is:   PCHS_cylinder = ( LCHS_cylinder * N ) + ( Lhead / NPH );   PCHS_head = ( LCHS_head % NPH );   PCHS_sector = LCHS_sector;DEBUGGING:----------This code may be compiled with -g and debugged within Tornado.Also the routine dosPartShowAta will show all partition datafor all partition table entries.  SUPPORT:--------This code was written in my "spare" time.  I would feel it to beviable code, so please send me (John Fabiani, johnx@wrs.com) anycomment or bug report, email only please.  This does not imply support for this code from Wind River Systems.  If you try to use this code without a thorough review, you are taking a risk.This is considered only an example.  I will endeavor to keep itworking well. KNOWN LIMITATIONS-----------------1.) This code does not write partition tables, ala MSDOS FDISK.exe.    This is the next thing I will be doing.  I have structured    this code accordingly in anticipation of coding VxFdisk().2.) This code must be spawned with an adequate stack size.    dosPartParse is recursive and could use a lot of stack:    To correctly spawn its routines from the shell:    -> sp dosPartMountScsi, pSysScsiCtrl    or    -> taskSpawn ("pMount",20,0,20000,dosPartMountScsi,pSysScsiCtrl)    or    -> sp dosPartShowScsi,pScsiPhysDev    or    -> taskSpawn ("pShow", 20, 0, 20000, dosPartShowScsi,pScsiPhysDev)    Do not call it directly from the shell ala:    -> dosPartMountScsi pSysScsiCtrl -- WRONG!, may overflow default stack.    -> dosPartShowScsi pScsiPhysDev  -- WRONG!, may overflow default stack.    Or else you will most likely overflow your stack if you have    not increased the default sp stack size.  This can be set    with the WindShell via:    -> ?         tcl> set spStackSize 100000    100000    tcl> ?    -> 3.) This code has only been tested with VxWorks 5.3.1 FCS.COMPILING THIS CODE:-------------------Standard vxWorks makes are expect.  Should work with any arch.Here are some examples:68K:----cc68k -BD:\10168k/host/x86-win32/lib/gcc-lib/ -m68040 -ansi -nostdinc -O -fvolatile -fno-builtin -Wall -I/h   -I. -ID:\10168k\target\config\all -ID:\10168k\target/h -ID:\10168k\target/src/config -ID:\10168k\target/src/drv -DCPU=MC68040      -c dosPartLibAta.ccc68k -BD:\10168k/host/x86-win32/lib/gcc-lib/ -m68040 -ansi -nostdinc -O -fvolatile -fno-builtin -Wall -I/h   -I. -ID:\10168k\target\config\all -ID:\10168k\target/h -ID:\10168k\target/src/config -ID:\10168k\target/src/drv -DCPU=MC68040-c dosPartLibScsi.cI960:-----cc960 -BC:\Sirocco/host/x86-win32/lib/gcc-lib/ -mca -mstrict-align -ansi -nostdinc -O -fvolatile -fno-builtin  -Wall -I/h   -I. -IC:\Sirocco\target\config\all -IC:\Sirocco\target/h -IC:\Sirocco\target/src/config -IC:\Sirocco\target/src/drv -DCPU=I960CA -DVX_IGNORE_GNU_LIBS     -c dosPartLibScsi.c80x86:------cc386 -BC:\Sirocco/host/x86-win32/lib/gcc-lib/ -m486 -ansi -nostdinc -O -fvolatile -nostdlib -fno-builtin -fno-defer-pop -Wall -I/h   -I. -IC:\Sirocco\target\config\all -IC:\Sirocco\target/h -IC:\Sirocco\target/src/config -IC:\Sirocco\target/src/drv -DCPU=I80486      -c dosPartLibScsi.cSOME GENERIC USAGE EXAMPLES:------------------------------------------------------------------------------    ***********************************************************1.)

There is going to be a lot more output than above.  The above     is simply an example of the format.  dosPartShowAta will display    all four partition table entries for each partition sector.      For example, a disk with 4 logical drives (C,D,E, & F) will     contain 5 partition sectors and dosPartShowAta() will display    20 partition table entries.      Utilities such as Norton Utilities DISKEDIT (TM) do not    automaticly display extended partition data.  This must    be done manually.  That is not a restriction with dosPartShowAta.    dosPartShowAta will automatically display all extended partitions.
