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". Hale *** Hale Landis *** www.ata-atapi.com ***
