So here's the background:
I've got this SCSI device with media that has raw data on it (for simplicity let's say it contains abc123). This device is on a Windows machine. I'd like to use C/C++ to initalize the device, open it, send the SCSI read command to the device, and ultimately "read" the bytes.
I've searched for similar topics, but I keep getting Linux/Unix guides, or Visual C++ (which I do not have access to).
Does anyone know a good way to start this? Maybe some sample code or maybe someone has a tutorial laying around ;-)
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I am using Cygwin.
UPDATE: After banging my head into a wall for quite some time, and some pleading and begging, I managed to get my superviser to allow me to get Visual Studio 2003 installed!
To anyone looking for more information on this topic, I highly agree with the comments provided above-it's near impossible to accomplish this on a Windows machine and not use Visual C++.
My only other suggestion is to make the wonderful switch to *nix world (if you can)!
