Hi Gents When trying to get out from multiple ATAPI devices same operation, I generally have to implement different sequence of ATAPI calls on existing parallel based devices. Could ATA/ATAPI-8 force some better identification of supported features with a "labelled" multimedia command set : ATAPI-8 ?

I'll throw into the hat: Defining a session (host) layer if the commands change away from task-file based to FIS-based. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 3:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [t13] ATA/ATAPI-8 suggestions list (resend This message is from the T13 list server. Here is a list of possible subjects for ATA/ATAPI-8 to consider. These are mostly gleaned from the outstanding issues list and from comments made at this week's October 2003 plenary meeting. These are not necessarily for discussion at this time. I am just 'priming the pump' for others to add other suggestions to the list for December when we submit a proposal for an ATA/ATAPI-8 project. ----------------------------- * Serial ATA - external interface (connectors, electrical, etc.) - serial ATAPI - LED - various issues involving bridges e03132r1 - ATAPI DMA Direction issues Proposal - incorporation of SATA 1.0a errata - incorporation of SATA-2 new features (native command queuing, etc.) * (e03138r0) Enterprise Extensions Smart Accessed (EESA) * (e02126r1) Write Wrong Proposal * ISO standardization * and some large questions to consider: - should support for PIO be dropped ? - should ATA/ATAPI-8 be the final standard to include parallel ATA ? - redo command volume to be interface-agnostic ? - redo command volume to be FIS-based ?
