RE: ATA/IP & ATAPI

[julian_satran@il.ibm.com]

I think we can include ATA/ATAPI within SCOT. I am not sure that we should
"surface" both ends or make it transparent to the initiator. I would like
to hear the "industry" on that.
By making only one end visible we could have the industry converge to one
"virtual" standard.

Julo

About 85% of storage on IA32/64 systems is IDE/ATA.  Ignoring
this substantial a volume seems inappropriate.  Further, there
is a proposal for Serial ATA (SAT) that might lend better lend
itself to this work.
