I have never seen an ATA or ATAPI device that supports the parallel
ATA/ATAPI overlap/queuing (but I've heard rumors of such but not
recently). Without host controller support ATA/ATAPI O/Q were never
of any value - even if there were such host controllers the value
could be questioned.

But why is T13 still fooling around with parallel ATA? After
completely messing it up in ATA/ATAPI-7, why continue messing it up
in whatever comes next? T13 should let parallel ATA end with
ATA/ATAPI-6, withdraw the ATA/ATAPI-7 parallel ATA mess, and move on
to whatever is the "new, non-parallel thing".
