After having trouble tracing cables back to a given drive and
determining which drive letter that represents, it occured to me that
someone must have written a utility to do this already.

IOW, show that a Seagate 400gb is attached as master on cable 1 of the
Adaptec ATA controller, etc.  Kinda like CPU-Z but for drives.

Anyone know if this exists?

Windows? Start/Run/devmgmnt.msc/Show Devices By Connection/expand the tree.

UNIXen? Try "atacontrol".

Brilliant.  Thanks, Maxim.  Embarrassing that I never noticed that
option in devmgmnt before.

In the course of looking around, I found this program:
http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm
It doesn't do specifically what I wanted, but it may be of use
to some.  It does show detailed info on drives.  Unfortunately,
it doesn't find devices on other controllers (3ware and Adaptec
PCI controllers, both mapped as SCSI).
