I did have a look at this a while ago (it seemed to be built with Watcom 
(now open-source) and a public-domain DOS extended along with an 
open-sourced binary-compressor - decompilation under Watcom on FreeDOS 
seemed possible), and it seems that Mark Lord has done a chunk more 
hacking on it, since there is a reference to initial support in the 
latest hdparm changelog - which you might want to take a look at....

Cheers,
