The silence is deafening on this thread! Ignore my first sentence, but ownership and making some progress on EDD3 would be wonderful. On another note, does anyone know the status of EDD2 (D1484r3)? Is this thing still a draft, or is it now a standard? If the former the document should be modified to reflect it as a draft. Otherwise if the latter, the web site should reflect that it is a standard and where it is available from. Dan (Colegrove), did you notice that www.t13.org site under "Projects" has an incorrect link for the 1572D draft (actually points to an early draft of EDD2) whereas the "Project Drafts" link is correct. This could be confusing some folks, so could we get this fixed? Thanks, MKE. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eschmann, Michael K Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 10:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [t13] Anyone know the status of EDD3? This message is from the T13 list server. I'm a little confused over which EDD document is which on the T13 web site. D1448r3 (BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services -2 (EDD-2)) seems to actually be the EDD-3 draft, whereas D1386r5a (Enhanced Disk Drive Services 3.0 revision 5a) seems to actually be the EDD-2 spec. Are the names backwards on the t13 web site? Several folks would like to see progress on EDD-3, but I'm not sure who is the actual owner of this project is. Who is the owner of record, and what are their plans to make progress on EDD-3? Additionally, the fibre channel device path definition includes a QWORD for the "64-bit Worldwide Identifier" field, but the bitmap of this field is neither specified in the document nor is a reference present to point folks to where it is defined. Would it be appropriate to add a T10 document reference in the EDD-3 spec, or better to add the bitmap definition directly into EDD-3? Thanks, Michael K. Eschmann Intel Americas, Inc.
