>No! This has NOTHING to do with the ATAPI IO and CD bits! NOTHING! The original CD and IO are SCSI (or rather, SASI...) signals, solving more or less the same "somewhat serious" problem. >Besides, IO and CD don't have any meaning during a DMA data transfer >... Indeed over ATA CD and IO are lost sometimes when really needed, so moving them at the other end of the cable, where the host is - as you propose - makes good sense. Finding a way to have a coherent set of copies at each side of the cable (like we have the CD and IO signals in SCSI) would do an even better job.
