don't know if this is easy but could you make the method/source available for sending these commands. So other programmers can try/experiment themselves (on other drives etc).
Microsoft's Windows Driver Kit, SPTI example is the starting point to learn to talk to the drive directly from Win32 programs. It's not very hard and it doesn't require writing a driver.

MMC6 is a beast, but it contains just about everything you need to learn what commands to use. Like KenD00 said, there are many tools that allow you to send a command or two.
