hi
As per ATA/ATAPI-4 Sec 9.4 ,after a Device Reset command the" device Shall
not set the DRDY bit" Why this. Due to this we can't send other commands to
the device because DRDY=0. I know  ATAPI device has littlie meaning on
DRDY.But DRDY =1 is a  prerequisite for most commands.

I have also one suggestion. Now there is no method to read the currently
operating PIO mode of ATA device. I think we can read this information form
the ATA host controller. What about adding this information to IDENTIFY DATA
or any other commands. Reading this information from host controller will
depends on the implementation of the controller.

Thanks in advance
Shibu
