I asked Andrew Belov what he had to change in the version of SmartMon he
sent to me this morning to make it compatible with DaniS506 and just
received his reply:
_____

There was some kind of nonconformance both in SMARTMON and
DANIS506.
-- My fault is that I didn't add 80h to unit numbers
(primary master unit is actually 80h, but historically
OS/2 tolerated zero-based numbers as well).
-- DANIS506, on the other hand, has unpredictable behavior
with invalid unit numbers, e.g. TRAP 000D whenever
SMARTMON v 1.01 is ran against a secondary unit.

I've notified Daniela about this problem a couple of days ago.
I presume she would need testers, though - this is an unstable
bug. Your report makes up the second one, but I could't
reproduce the problem at my system so far.

I don't like the idea of getting a TRAP 000D from the new DaniS506, and
my personal recommendation is to *remove* DaniS506 v151 from any systems
you have it on and revert back to v145.

Remember that HDMON is also partially incompatible with DaniS506. I
don't know the internals of HDMON but if SmartMon can cause DaniS506
v151 to trap then HDMON might be able to cause it to trap as well.
