Looks like the Ata folk neglected to take anything except read/write past the 28-bit Lba barrier. This means bridges to Ata cannot bridge such concepts as x2B Seek, x3E ReadLong, x3F WriteLong, not above 128GiB @ 0.5KiB/block, not in any vendor-independent way. The Scsi 64-bit extension to go above their 32-bit Lba barrier is equally broken. Fun to think about, eh? Pat LaVarre ... Subscribe/Unsubscribe instructions can be found at www.t13.org.
