Default SCSI inquiry to get storage device serial number

Hi,

I'm trying to get the serial number of a storage device. I've tried
sg3_utils and sg_inq does this. I tried calling the functions within
the sg3 source files, but I can't seem to build it even after
including the relevant header files.

I've also tried forming my own SCSI inquiry CDB and sending it to the
device, but I only seem to get the vendor ID and product ID, no serial
number and other information.

Does anyone know how to use the functions within sg3_utils, or how to
obtain the serial number?

Thanks!

I take it that my DiskID32 http://www.winsim.com/diskid32/diskid32.html
program fails also ?
