Hi Matt,
The host side folks who had been active contributors to the definition of
what has evolved into the Streaming command set have been less active in T13
of late. I don't think they have attended a meeting in about a year. So,
the rest of us have been floundering around trying to intuit how this should
be defined, and it's been frustrating. Here is an excerpt from the minutes
of the last T13 meeting:
Ron Roberts moved and Andre Hedrik seconded that this annex [the Streaming
model annex] not be included in ATA/ATAPI-6. Mark Evans requested a
friendly amendment to remove all elements of the Streaming command set from
ATA/ATAPI-6. This was accepted by Ron and Andre. Marc Noblitt requested a
friendly amendment to include the Streaming command set in a future
ATA/ATAPI standard. This was accepted by Ron and Andre.
The consolidated motion is: The Streaming model annex shall not be included
in ATA/ATAPI-6, all elements of the Streaming command set shall be removed
from ATA/ATAPI-6, and the Streaming command set shall be included in the
next standard version of an ATA/ATAPI standard. The motion failed 8:2:3 (to
have passed, this motion would have required 50% of the membership and
two-thirds of those voting to have voted in favor).
So, in my opinion, the only reason that the A/V stuff is still in
ATA/ATAPI-6 is because we didn't have enough voting members at the meeting.
The membership during the meeting was 21. Had the three "abstainers" voted
in favor of the motion the stuff would be out. Assuming there are 16 or
fewer voting members in attendance when this motion is proposed again in
Kauai (and it will be), if 11 vote in favor of the motion, A/V is out of
A/A-6.
Please feel free to call or send an email to me if you have any additional
questions.

I truly wish it were so simple. However, a good technical debate would
serve as a welcome distraction. Let me try to "help".
>From reading the committee meeting minutes, it seems the AV command
extensions are on shaky ground? When I was on the disk side of the
cable, this all seemed like such a good idea. But I must say that now
that I'm on the other end and faced with needing to manage a mix of
"AV" and "IT" data, this looks to be an absolute nightmare. What is
the real status of this?

I think most of us have been pre occupied with events of the last week.
Anyone with bright ideas on how we can use the ATA interface to fight
terrorism?

OK... It has been way too quiet on the [temp t13] list (reflector)
the last few days. I think the last messages posted here were about
10 days ago. So this is just a message to let you know that [temp
t13] (and tgi.com) are running just fine and so far unaffected by the
current Internet worm problems.
I have also had no trouble accessing the official T13 web site
(www.t13.org) during the last week. I have been able to access
the official ftp site (ftp.t13.org) some days but it is real slow
and does not appear to be up-to-date. I also don't know the status
of the official list server (reflector), but [temp t13] will
continue to operate until it is running.
