That stupid tailgate thing should definitely get killed - it should have never been published. ATA/ATAPI-4 may be a more difficult thing to obsolete. If T13 votes to continue support of ATA/ATAPI-4, what options, if any, exist? Can it be supported one year at a time? I could see supporting ATA/ATAPI-4 for two more years but not as long as five more years. Hale *** Hale Landis *** www.ata-atapi.com ***
