It turns out that our technology can fail a thread operation both for a dropped leader and for various other reasons. 05-262 speaks of dropped leaders and related issues (miss pick, buckle failure). We're not sure if you intend the new ASC/ASCQ for use only with these failure modes or for use with any failure that occurs during a thread operation. Could you please provide clarification. Many thanks, Michael Banther Hewlett-Packard Ltd. Telephone +44 (117) 312-9503
