I think I posted here some link to R.L. legacy in the past, he made also set of very interesting DOS utilities e.g. the TRIM tool (that I reformated source to compile and trying to understand how it works) not only Win9x stuff...

I woud expect that trick. It could be modified to use JEMM services to access MMIO.

AFAIK the whole package including the sources was put online by his family to make them freely available, at least for non-commercial use (they no longer sell the SW). I don't know what kind of licence, if explicitly specified, there's a thread about it on MSFN...

OK, then no other way than use AHCI. BTW does it still have AHCI BIOS INT13h services for DOS? (doesn't help for CD/DVD, just HDDs).

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
