I have some questions about the new proposal
"e04155r0 - DRQ=0 When ERR=1 Feature and Allocation Identify Device
Words Proposal"
http://t13.org/docs2004/e041559r0-DRQ-ERR-and-ID-Words.pdf
Why do we need this ?
What problem does it really solve ?
Why should we define a feature that allows a BAD DEVICE to do something
stupid
instead of fixing the bad device ?
Thank You !!
