4. SPI-4 Topics
4.1 Resolution of SPI-4 Letter Ballot Comments [Penokie]
John Lohmeyer reviewed the results of the SPI-4 letter ballot (01-297r1). The
ballot passed on a vote of 40:2:3:1=46.
George Penokie reviewed the letter ballot comments resolutions up to Clause 10
and then reviewed all the comments from Maxtor and QLogic. George indicated
that the letter ballot resolution work will be completed at the January
meeting.
4.2 Report transfer capabilities port control sub-mode page for SPI-4
(01-290) [Evans]
After a brief discussion, Mark Evans moved that 01-290r1 (r0 as revised) be
recommended for inclusion in SPI-4. Bill Galloway seconded the motion. The
group requested that the proposal clearly state that values in the proposed
sub-mode page are not changeable via a MODE SELECT command and Mark agreed to
add that change in r1. Additional changes were required regarding
precompensation preferences. Mark also agreed to make this change once the
details were ironed out. The motion passed on a vote of 10:0:3.
5. SPI-5 Topics
5.1 Periodic structures on SCSI buses (00-352) [Barnes]
Larry Barnes asked that discussion of this topic be deferred to the next
meeting.
5.2 SPI-5 Programmable Termination (01-270) [Aloisi]
Paul Aloisi presented 01-270r0 a proposal to increase the flexibility of
terminator configuration in SPI-5. The group discussed the proposal and
suggested that the terminator electrical changes were agreeable but the
terminator control needed much more discussion. Paul agreed to split the
proposal in two parts and bring the revised proposals to the next meeting.

(01-290) [Evans]
It was requested that this topic be considered as item 4.2.
