Agenda (items to be covered based on attendees and readiness to discuss):

1. Proposed Cable Tables for SAS2 6Gbs Phy [McSorley]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-471r0.pdf
No update last call. Asks Galen Fromm to help with review and possible update suggestions for 07-471.

2. Description of SSC profile allowed discontinuities. [Hernandez, Fortin]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.08/08-027r3.pdf
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.08/08-032r0.pdf

Discussed at length the jitter budget, math behind the residual SSC jitter after JTF, and whether limit values should be normative or informative. Rev 3 along with a separate proposal in a format updating the specification text were posted (links above).

3. SAS-2 Interconnect Signal-to-Noise Ratio Study [Olawsky]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-484r0.pdf


4. SAS-2 Receiver Device Physical Testing [Witt, Bari]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-486r1.pdf

5. Refine/provide status on simulation technology. [Jenkins, Newman]

6. SAS-2: Remove restrictions for SSC [Houlder, Cox]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.08/08-014r2.pdf

Update posted at the link above. Although this text discusses an implementation-specific behavior, it is considered necessary as the subtleties in the specification that allow it do not make the impact of the implementation readily apparent.

7. SAS-2 6Gbps PHY specification [Cox]
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-339r8.pdf
Updates to references included. Please provide additional comments.
