I use DM version 5.0; a general-purpose version that doesn't require
the /m.

HDTS is, AFAIK, not shareware. By Octagon Micro Devices, Inc. USA. It
was on a computer I bought at auction and has CHS, un/formatted
capacities, form factor, power consumption, interface, and other info
about drives. It also has some controller info, but not a lot,
including a line-graphic picture showing where jumpers and connectors
are.
