**************************************************************

Comments attached to No ballot from Gene Milligan of
Seagate Technology:

Acrobat has chose to summarize the notes in a different order than was
intended. Please do not be disturbed by the order.

Notes from sesar00.pdf
Page 1
Note 1; Label: Seagate Employee; Date: 6/30/0 3:09:18 PM
<<in Table A.2 "Configuration page, using sub-enclosure identifiers," change
the "Bytes" column entry for the First sub-enclosure descriptor PRODUCT
REVISION LABEL from "(8 bytes)" to "(4 bytes)">>

    This change is either wrong or missleading. Change it to "in Table A.2
"Configuration page, using sub-enclosure identifiers," change the "Bytes"
column entry for the First sub-enclosure descriptor PRODUCT REVISION LABEL
|from "44-47" to "44-51".

Note 2; Label: Seagate Employee; Date: 6/30/0 2:59:51 PM
<<in Table 18 "Format of OVERALL DESCRIPTOR and ELEMENT DESCRIPTOR," swap
"LSB" and "MSB" for bytes 2 and 3 (DESCRIPTOR LENGTH) so "MSB" is in byte 2
and "LSB" is in byte 3.>>

This change is either wrong or incomplete depending upon your view. Change the

description in Table 18, Format of OVERALL DESCRIPTOR and ELEMENT DESCRIPTOR,
of the DESCRIPTOR LENGTH field such that byte 2, bit 7 is "(MSB)" and byte 3,
bit 0 is "LSB". Even better would be a replacement table.

Note 3; Label: Seagate Employee; Date: 6/30/0 3:23:46 PM
Also change <<and change the entry for VENDOR SPECIFIC ENCLOSURE INFORMATION
|from "(p - 40 bytes)" to "(p - 36 bytes).">> to "and change the entry for
VENDOR SPECIFIC ENCLOSURE INFORMATION from "48-(m+11)" to "52-(m+11)".

Note 4; Label: Seagate Employee; Date: 6/30/0 3:28:12 PM
In addition Table A.2 in the Byte column seems to use an arbitrary mixture of
the Byte Number and the number of bytes. This seems to add to the confusion.
Again a replacement table would be even better.
