Enclosure 1 - Comments
Enclosure 1
Comments accompanying Intel Yes vote on letter ballot to forward EDD-2.
1. Section 3.2.21: Section should be called "Protected Mode".
2. Section 6.8.1, Table 4: Change table to remove intermediate borders
for PCI-X group in "Host Bus Type" column.
3. Section 6.8.2, Table 5: Make same intermediate border change as in
suggestion #2.
4. Section 6.8.3, Table 6: Would really like to see text that relates
LBA bits in offset 4 bit 6, offset 10 bits 4, 9 and 10, showing how a
consumer of INT13 would interpret the results.

Comments accompanying Maxtor Yes vote on letter ballot to forward EDD-2.
Comment 1 - Contents
Contents entries should not be underlined.
Comment 2 - Forward
"Subcommittee T13 on ATA Interfaces, that reviewed this standard, had the
following members:" should say "Technical Committee T13 on ATA Interfaces,
that reviewed this standard, had the following members:"
Comment 3 - Clause 2.1 Approved References
There should be a space between 340-2000 and AT Attachment.
Comment 4 - Clause 3.2.5 CF
The word Carry should not be bold.
Comment 5 - 3.2.6 CHS
In the first sentence, "logical heads (S)," should be "logical heads (H),".
Comment 6 - 3.2.6 CHS
Remove period in front of the last sentence.
Comment 7 - 3.2.7 Conventional and enhanced
Need space in front of the last sentence.
Comment 8 - 3.2.21 Protect Mode
Real Mode is defined in the Protect Mode entry. Shouldn't Real Mode be its
own definition entry?
Comment 9 - 5.3 INT 13h Interface Subsets
In the note, "INT 13" should be "INT 13h".
Comment 10 - 5.3 INT 13h Interface Subsets
The note needs a period at the end.
Comment 11 - 5.3.2 Device Locking and Ejecting Subset
In the last item in the table "Int 15h" should be "INT 15h".
Comment 12 - 6.5 Lock/Unlock Media
The parenthetic statement "(ie. AH = 00h and CF = 0b)" should be "(i.e., AH
= 00h and CF = 0b)".
Comment 13 - 6.6 Eject Removable Media
Parenthetic statements "(ie., ----)" should be "(i.e., ------)" in four
places.
Comment 14 - 6.6 Eject Removable Media
In the last sentence, "Int 15h" should be INT 15h".
Comment 15 - 6.8 Get Device Parameters - Table 3
Offset 2, bit 7, "Int 13h" should be "INT 13h".
Comment 16 - 6.8.1 Interface Path - Table 4
In PCI offset 52 and PCI-X offset 52, if these are DWords the value should
be 00000000h.
Comment 17 - 6.8 3 Device Parameter Table Extension (DPTE) - Table 6
In offset 10-11, bits 12-15, the last word should be "zero".
****************************************************************************
********************
Microsoft approves the EDD-2 spec with four comments and a question.
Comments:
1) In Section 6.3 Extended write, 1st paragraph, 2nd sentence, it should
be:
"CF = 1b"
2) In section 6.8.1 Interface Path, table 4:
a) The definition for Host bus Type: PCI, Offset 52, should be
written as: "Reserved. The value in this field shall be 00000000"
b) The definition for Host bus Type: PCI-X, Offset 52, should be
written as: "Reserved. The value in this field shall be 00000000"
3) In section 6.8 "Get Device Parameters" - offset 36, host bus type,
probably should include 3GIO (or whatever it eventually gets called).
4) Likewise, section 6.8, offset 40, probably should add InfiniBand. For
InfiniBand, the interface type should be IB SRP and contain 128 bit
target ID.
Question:
In section 6.8.2 Device Path, Table 5 - Device Path Definition:
The definition for Interface Type SATA, offset is "00h = SATA Device 0,
01h = SATA Device 1". Does that imply that master and slave channel in
Serial ATA?
According to Intel, Serial ATA does NOT have the concept of master and
slave. It only supports one channel.
