Alright, actually, after having a cup of coffee (most of which ended up on my keyboard :( ), I fully agree with our poor misunderstood friend Andre. If something is providing access to something at a protocol level, it is its job to make sure that the protocol is not violated.... imagine a TCP/IP stack that let you send invalid packets, that wouldn't go over too well. Violations of the ATA specification should be prevented, if not for protection from users shooting themselves in the foot (I still fail to see this as a threat, BTW), just out of plain old fashioned correctness. Hell, I'd be willing to code a patch for it at this point if I knew what the fsck I was doin'...
Cheers, Ryan
