Andre H: Sorry I do not confidently understand your English. As yet in my ignorance I believe the following translations. > ATA taskfile passthough was released years ago, but The first generation of ATA pass thru appeared in Linux "years ago", and there was no second generation. The "EXPERIMENTAL" labelling near .config IDE_TASKFILE_IO isn't relevant to .config IDE_TASK_IOCTL.

Or the sometimes irrational people with write & erase privilege at t10.org ... Or ... > are not bright enough to grasp the obvious > when it is handed to them. Sorry by now I'm thoroughly lost.

I remember there is a SCSI to ATA telecon happening tomorrow (Friday). Pat LaVarre http://linux-pel.blog-city.com/read/636717.htm
