Hello Mr. Hatfield:

Thank you very much for the clarification. I had read this clarification from the 2006 documents, but was not sure if this chabge had been accepted or not.

Q: In regards to documents from previous years, for example 2005, are these documents those that were accepted that year alone. Or are proposals that have not yet been accepted maintained as well?

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Luis E. Rodriguez

Hello everyone,

I have recently joined the e-mail reflector for T13,

Many questions have popped in my mind about the SECURITY commands:

When using the Master Password, and the security level is Maximum, what
is the expected response of the device when receiving the following
commands
(abort/execute):

SECURITY DISABLE PASSWORD
<hatfield> abort the command

SECURITY ERASE UNIT
<hatfield> execute the command

SECURITY UNLOCK
<hatfield> abort the command


I have read the proposals under the Documents 2006 by *Hatfield/Wolford*
regarding ATA Security issues. In the case that a proposal does not have
"Accepted"
should it be regarded as just a  suggestion and not yet as a correction or
update to the previous
Spec. And in the case that it is "Accepted", should I interpret the
document as an accepted revision to
the Spec?
<hatfield> 'accepted' means that it has been accepted for incorporation
into the standard.
<hatfield> BUT - nothing is final until the entire standard has been voted
on, letter ballots accepted, forwarded to INCITS, and
<hatfield> INCITS has accepted it. Until all that is done, some things can
still change.




Thank's in advanace to anyone who may provide some answers regarding
these matters. Any clarifications on the issue of ATA Security would be
very useful to me.
