Dirk --

Do I assume correctly that a drive, which *doesn't* support the SMART technology cannot be queried by this API at all?

Correct. Attempts to call IOServiceOpen() will fail.

Or will such a drive simply return invalid data for calls like 'SMARTEnableDisableOperations()' which try to retrieve information which cannot be provided by the drive, but still returns its serial number (incase a S/N is present)?

You won't get that far...
