In order to find the base address of an autoconfigured board one must employ the expansion.library. You would normally call… FindConfigDev passing the manufacuturer and product id but you probably don't know these for the microbotics disk controller. So instead call FindConfigDev with a -1 for both the manufacuturer and the product id, this will list each autoconfig rom in turn. Remember to start the search passing a NULL configdev structure (the first time through your loop). After locating the appropriate configdev structure (you'll have to be the judge of that) simply extract the address of the board from structure (something like cd_BoardAddr or something).
