Yes the Ata ops x23/33 Read/Write Long were obsoleted a long time ago. They remained defined & standard, they were just obsolete. They were not vendor-specific, they were just obsolete. Bridges could bridge to them, and still work with any Ata hard drive that happened to implement them. Bridging to something undefined is tougher. > The Seek command is headed to the same bit bucket in the sky. Different bit bucket. Undefined rather than merely obsolete.

They are obsolete and have been for a long time. The Seek command is headed to the same bit bucket in the sky.
