[t13] SATA question about HOLD & EOF

[Dan Meyer]

Pardon me if this is the incorrect forum for this question and please direct me to the correct forum if this is the case.               When a host has EOF to send and a device sends HOLD, should the host send EOF or HOLDA?  In Serial ATA rev 1.0a section 7.6.1.3 state LT8 (page 167), I see no mention of HOLD, only “When in this state, the Link layer shall transmit the EOF primitive.”  I am seeing a host who sends HOLDA instead of EOF.         Dan Meyer
