Hi Curtis, If there are any opportunities to consolidate identical information in one place, then you should take them. Not only will such action make the document smaller, but it reduces the chance that something will get out of sync someplace. I don't think many folks will be confused by having to look one place to find that the typical normal output is "50" in the status register. In fact, I would encourage you to look for other opportunities to consolidate information. For example, the Error outputs clause for READ SECTOR(S) is identical to the Error outputs clause for READ MULTIPLE. A good way to do this consolidation is to define a unique set of information the first time it occurs in the document, then just put "For a definition of [whatever] see [first time clause]."

ATA8-ACS is still a work in progress with many editors notes. All of the commands have been converted to the new format and I believe the section outline is now correct. I am looking for feedback both before and during the meeting. One thing to think about. Many commands have identical normal outputs. If I was to place a See Clause xx under normal outputs and omit the full table, it will probably pull 50-100 pages from the document. This would mean that only those commands that have a return, such as SMART, would have a table listed under normal outputs. ------------------------------------------------ Curtis E.
