Hi Joe,
This second attempt to post is the only one I received.
My review was only up to page 406 so I did not provide any comments against
Tables 411, 414, or 503. I am not able to see any changes to Table 411 or
414 as well.  In Table 503 there is a change of CRD_SUP to Obsolete.  This
change is not due to one of my comments.
My comment for media changer was to relocate it into the proper
alphabetical order location in the definitions section and that is the only
change applied.
My comment was nonvolatile is used 31 times, non-volatile is used 25 times,
and we should be consistent. Ralph applied the most prominent.
We did not add the "not equal" to symbol. In fact I noted this was never
used and recommended its removal.  The change bar is due to the removal of
other symbols that were removed.
The change in section 6.4.6.8 was not due to one of my comments.
Regards,
Harvey Newman
