4. Old Business
4.1 SAT: Project Proposal for SCSI / ATA Translation (SAT) (04-174r2)
[Sheffield]
Ralph Weber mentioned that the document number on the proposal needs to be
corrected and that there were other minor editorial corrections required. Bob
Sheffield and John Lohmeyer said that they would make the necessary
corrections and make a new revision of the document. (However, Ralph Weber
beat them to it.)
John Lohmeyer moved that the project proposal as modified (04-174r3) be
recommend for forwarding to INCITS by the T10 plenary. Ralph Weber seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
5. New Business
5.1 SAT: SCSI / ATA Translation Initial Draft (04-196r0) [Sheffield]
Bob Sheffield presented his proposal that is a candidate to become the first
draft of the project. Most of the discussion was about what topics should be
described in the standard (e.g., the mapping of queued features from SCSI to
take advantage of SATA Native Command Queuing and the processing of task
management functions).
Bob agreed to prepare a new revision of the proposal including input from the
group. Assuming the project proposal is forwarded by the plenary and approved
by INCITS, this will be revision 0 of the draft standard.
5.2 SAT: ATA Pass-through commands [Livaccari]
Due to the late hour, discussion of this topic was deferred to the next
meeting.
5.3 SAT INQUIRY contents (04-218r0) [Elliott]
Rob Elliott presented his proposal (04-218r0) mapping standard INQUIRY data
from the SAT translator. There was discussion about whether this data should
reflect the translator or the ATA devices below the translator.
Rob agreed to prepare a new revision of the proposal including input from the
group.
5.4 SAT SPC-3 ATA Information VPD page (04-219r0) [Elliott]
Rob Elliott briefly reviewed his proposal (04-219r0) mapping standard VPD data
from the SAT translator.
Rob agreed to prepare a new revision of the proposal including input from the
group.
