    SubjectDoes this help explain better?? ATA/IDE Thread

    Everyone

    I am talking about attempting to invoke unknown vender specific commands
    They do comply with the SPEC but are not part of the SPEC.
    Since I do not have the priviledge of knowing these facts, but know they
    exist. You can not allow a rouge driver attempt to invoke these commands.

    This is how disks are/can be damaged.

    Controllers are limited to what the driver tells it to do.

    This is why it is a kernel level issue, I am taking responsiblity for not
    fixing this earlier but I just figured it out have being wacked in the
    head with it three months ago.

    Cheers,

    Andre Hedrick
