I have not heard anyone argue to > bring back the RECALIBRATE command for instance. Ask and you shall receive. :-) I remember this as one of the issues in the translation to Ata from Scsi. Digging now, I'm reminded ... Some see the once-optional Ata op x10 Recalibrate as analogous to Scsi op x01 Rezero Unit. 1993 Scsi-2 9.2 Commands for direct-access devices technically classifies Scsi op x01 as "optional", but some implementation traditions do not respect this wish. And the once-optional Ata op xE1 IdleImmediate doesn't work well as a substitute because of the weight of power management traditions that interfere with the plain meaning of that op. Accordingly, some preferred the once-mandatory Ata op x70 Seek as a substitute for x10 Recalibrate.
