4.1 SAT-2: Work Items and Open Issues List (08-023r4) [Overby]
Mark Overby reviewed the latest work items and open issues list (08-023r4). Fred Knight noted that there may be a problem accessing sense data in non-autosense systems if the device server transitions to low power condition quickly after processing a command. The issue needs to be addressed by SPC-4.
The target data for starting letter ballot is following the July 2008 meeting.
4.2 SAT-2: NV Cache Translation (08-018r2) [Overby]
Mark Overby reviewed 08-018r2, SAT-2: NV Cache Translation. The group suggested changes, including recommending that a 16-byte CDB be used instead of a 12-byte CDB to have more reserved space for future additions. Mark agreed to incorporate the changes and post revision 3 for review at the next meeting.
5.1 SAT-2: Translation of zero-length security commands (07-325r2) [Overby]
Mark Overby pointed out that after this proposal was approved for inclusion into SAT-2, T13 made some changes to the ATA TRUSTED NON-DATA command that make it necessary to alter the SAT-2 description of this translation. The document that matches the T13 revision is 08-230r0.
Mark Overby moved and Ralph Weber seconded that 08-230r0, SAT-2: Translation of zero-length security commands (2), be recommended for inclusion into SAT-2. In absence of objection, the motion passed unanimously.
6. Review of SAT-2 working draft [Overby]
Mark Overby noted that he has recently posted SAT-2 revision 4. The group reviewed rev 4 and offered a number of suggested changes. Mark agreed to incorporate the changes and he expects to post revision 5 for review at the next meeting.
The following documents were recommended for inclusion into SAT-2:
07-485r6 (SAT-2 and SPC-4 Additional power management methods) [Knight] {April}
08-230r0 (SAT-2: Translation of zero-length security commands (2)) [Overby] {May}
