As you say, MS-DOS (And, I believe, Free-DOS) don't have drivers for SATA. However, it is perfectly possible for the DFT utility to have its own drivers built in. If I were testing hard drives on MS-DOS <shudder!> that's what I would do. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
