One little question.
It's difficult to me to understand why the ATA/ATAPI standard tells
so few things about CD-ROM/DVD-ROM than SFF8070 (dedicated
rewritable devices) and SFF8090 (more for DVD).
When reading SFF8070 they refer to ATA/ATAPI-4, and they say they
are compliant with this standard.
What about ATA-5 ?
I'd like someone to explain me the correct way of working when managing
ATAPI devices.
- first read ATA-5 rev 3 then get extra info from 8090 ?
- don't bother and just use sff 8090 standard, hoping it's full compatible
with
what's written in ATA-5 rev 3
Thanks for reading.

Hi Sailesh,
The latest draft version of ATA/ATAPI-6 (rev 1b) is available as d1410r1b in
either a .pdf or .zip Word for Windows format at ftp://ftp.t13.org/project/.
It is important to note that this is only a draft and is not yet an official
standard. Approved standards are available from http://www.ncits.org/.
Also, I would expect the next revision of ATA/ATAPI-6 to be available soon
at the T13 ftp site. This will include all of the proposals that have been
accepted by the T13 Technical Committee for this draft, so far.
Please feel free to send an email to me if you have any additional
questions.
Regards,

What is the latest rev of the spec. And what is the procedure to get a final
(official) spec?
