This message is from the T13 list server.
Thanks for the status. The t13 web site must be updated to reflect EDD2's status as an ANSI/INCITS standard. As for EDD3, we (Intel) posted a proposal to the web as document e03145r0. It basically is maintenance, asking for the addition of new device types. However if you don't have a sponsor, why should that hold up EDD3's progress. If someone isn't a member any more then their projects should be re-assigned to someone who is.

OK, maybe I should say comething... I have a new draft of EDD3, but I have not had a sponsor to go to the meetings. EDD2 is now published by ANSI as an standard, ANSI INCITS 363-2002. The last draft worked on by committee is posted at the WEB site. I have had several requests for additions to EDD3. Most of the requests are what I would call maintenance issues. New device types etc. If you have a request, please post it and I will put it on the list for EDD3. --------------------------- Curtis E.
