        I would like you to please looks at 5.14.5.5 in ATA/ATAPI-7 v1 also
please look at 5.14.5.7.  As you can see, the ERR bit can change when DRQ or
BSY is 1.  This is normal PATA operation as I understand it.  Further, I
believe these sections make it clear that DRQ does not require BSY=1 to
change.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier
multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount...     and then he voted

This would be a complete violation of the PATA PACKET command protocol.
