accessing DISK_SPECIFIC structure

I am trying to access the kernel structure DISK_SPECIFIC for each disk in my V5.1 system. I can get the SCSI_DIDARR structures via calls to nlist for _camdb_didarr_ptr and _camdb_did_high. I then look for dev_type == ALL_DTYPE_DIRECT to find the hard disks. Under V4.0X, I used cam_ptr to find a PDRV_DEVICE3 structure which contained an element pd_spec_list, but under V5.1 pd_spec_list is actually contained in the SCSI_DIDARR structure. I search down this list. Under V4.0X I looked for spec_reg_no == 1 and spec_ptr pointed at a DISK_SPECIFIC structure. Under V5.1 I don't get any records with spec_reg_no == 1, I get a record with spec_reg_no == 2, which has a spec_size of 1440. I don't know what type of structure this is, and I get stuck at this point. Does anyone know what this record with spec_reg_no == 2 is, or have any other ideas about finding DISK_SPECIFIC structures. I can't find any documentation on this anywhere - I feel I've done quite well to work out as much as I have on my own! Thanks, Dave Simmonds
