You'll have to call DeviceIOControl. It's quite difficult. If you've Delphi 2 or 3, please open the win32.hlp file and look in the index for something like "Calling DeviceIOControl on Win95". In the win32.hlp shipped with Delphi4 these pages are gone, don't know why...

Regards, Madshi.
It's quite difficult if possible to do the task u want... Similar question has already been asked and the guy had to do it in TP and call his DOS app in order for this to work...
jagan, what is your Delphi version (16 bit or 32 bit)?
What is operating system? 3.1? 95/98? NT?
