Serial number of CD ROM (audio) disc

[Bertv100]

How can I get the serial number of a CD ROM disc? I need it to make a library of name,title,... of audio tracks on a cd.<br>It seems there are some serious programmers in this forum, I hope there is one who knows someting about registers becouse I know DOS interrupt 21h needs to be called with register AL=69h and AH=00h (to get serial) or AH=01h (to set serial). I only need to get the serial number but I don't know how or where the numbers are returned.<br>Note: I work in Turbo Pascal and assembler language can be implemented but please be clear in any answer(s) because I don't know anything of assembler, I just use it <p>Bert Vingerhoets<br><a href=mailto:vingerhoetsbert@hotmail.com>vingerhoetsbert@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I have never had any luck retrieving information from CDs using the DOS or BIOS interrupts. CD-ROMS are dependent on device drivers.<br><br>The question begs an answer and I am as eager as any to hear it. Do any of the Gurus have an answer? <p> <br><a href=mailto:InterruptX@excite.com>InterruptX@excite.com</a><br><a href=

Hey,
You people should get a interrup list first. It will explain all functions you can encounter, but I never seen there retrieving something from CD-ROM.

I've solved that problem ages ago, Aphrodita!

For those who still want to know ... I used the routine to get the serial from a diskette and it works just fine.

Don't worry what people think about you. They're too busy wondering what you think about them.

INT 21h
Function 69h
Get/Set Disk Sierial Number
--------------------------------
Input:

Ah = 69h
Al = subfunction
00h = get sierial number
01h = set serial number
Bl = drive (0 = default, 1=A,2=b,etc)
DSX = segmentffset disk serial number buffer ; If Al = 00h, you want whats here!

Output:
CF = 0 Successful
AX = destroyed
Al = 00h Buffer filled with value from extended DPB
01h extended DPB on Disk set to values from buffer
CF = 1 Unsuccessful
AX = Error Code
01h = function number invalid
05h = access denied




Hope this helps ya

That date mentioned in the right upper corner of a thread does mean something, you know

LOL!

 

[OriginXYZ]

yes...and telling NEW readers that YOU solved the problems ages ago does nothing for them

 

[Bertv100]

No, but then they can ask again since they know that someone has solved the problem, and by asking it again someone else can mention another approach. If I put the code in here everybody who needs it just copy-pastes it and blames me if doesn't work properly.
AND IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY INDEED, I remember one of the characters depended on the CD ROM drive or something, anyway it didn't depend on the CD, that's for sure.
