RE: [t13] Another Question to talk about next week

[Mladen Luksic]

A suggestion was made that W128/b1 may refer to the states in the security state transition diagram. If so, W85/b1 and W128/b1 are not redundant in that they may indeed have different values (W128/b1 changing as a result of executing various SECURITY commands). However, W82/b0 and W128/b0 must mean the same (the support for the Security Mode feature set), so they are indeed redundant.   But what is still missing is what changes W85/b1. SET FEATURES? How? And even if so, assuming that W82/b1=1 AND W128/b0=1, then W85/b1=0 AND W128/b1=1 should be illegal.   Thoughts?   Mladen Luksic Western Digital   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Curtis Stevens Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 11:31 AM To: Forum@t13.org Subject: [t13] Another Question to talk about next week   In reading ATA/ATAPI-7 there are 2 sets of security enabled bits, on in word 85 bit 1 and another in word 128 bit 1.  I also noted that there are redundant implemented bits as well, but that is not my question…   There is nothing in these bits that denotes what Security Enabled means.  I believe that some of the bits in word 128 are actually referring to states in the security state transition diagrams.  Its just not clear…      ------------------------------------------------- Curtis E.
