This message is from the T13 list server.
There is no 'serial atapi' proposal. I merely recorded the fact that
questions about
ATAPI via the Serial ATA interface are starting to surface more frequently
on the
reflector and elsewhere.
T13 has a copyright release from the SATA working group, but is not 'free'
to change
technical content, but is allowed to consider clarifications.
The T13 liason to the SATA working group (Dan Colgrove) does ask the SATA
working
group for approval on some items, and the T13 members who are also SATA
working group
members have feedback in both groups.
Thank You !!!

This message is from the T13 list server.
I haven't looked at the meeting minutes to see what discussions may or may
not have occurred (the minutes are usually just general anyway), but just
curious:
If there is a Serial ATAPI proposal (and SATA-2 would fall into this
question as well) and is being considered for inclusion in ATAPI-8, I will
ask the same question I asked before we decided to include SATA 1.0.
Will T13 be allowed to add, delete or modify everything in this area
without first getting approval from the Serail ATA committee? Although
this
was answered "yes" for SATA 1.0, I don't believe (my opinion) that it's
true.
my $0.02,
