Jordan,

OK, I found it! the link was in a note from Dani.

This version of HDMON works with SCSI drives, but does not really give
you any data, only an indication, via an icon which is either green
(good) or flashing red (BAD). From other info that I have fond via
Google, SCSI drives don't provide nearly as much info via their
S.M.A.R.T. interface as you get for IDE drives. :-(

You can read this info at a commercial site where they sell software to
monitor SCSI & IDE SMART drives:

Unfortunately, this is a Windoze program, but if you have a windoze
partition on the system in question, there *IS* a demo version available!
