Eh? I thought ... T13 Atapi says in the first few "word"s of op xA1 IdentifyPacketDevice data whether the host should always copy Out a 12 or 16 byte "packet" at BSY DRQ C/D I/O = 0 1 command out time. T13 has no other comment on how long the Cdb is, except that by implication it can't be longer than 16 bytes. No? Thanks in advance, Pat LaVarre
