I must say this: a) I'm not sure why Pat posted that article. b) I'm not sure that it has much to do with our discussion here. c) I will not be drawn into a discussion of the signature problem. Devices should be implemented per ATA/ATAPI-x and each device manufacturer should pick an appropriate '-x'. d) At the time the article was written it was very important to get this information to the Far East device designers. Those people were just starting to ship products that no longer included the extra hardware that SFF-8020 required that ATA/ATAPI-4 did not require. It was very important to get them to understand they needed to put that extra hardware back into their device designs. At the time the information in this article was published it certainly was not "crap". I'll have nothing more to say on this subject (got your bets ready?). *** Hale Landis *** www.ata-atapi.com ***
