Subject: SerialATA Release, sortof........


FYI

The Serial ATA specification (500 pages) is now available to the public
under certain "click-to-accept" conditions. Click the "specification"
link at the bottom of the home page at http://www.serialata.org/.
I hope the conditions are acceptable. The file is zipped MS Word.

This just for those that care...please do not ask me for my copy as I am a
member of this working group and bound under the NDA.

Well, I think that most people can be happy with the conditions. Now,
the format, that's a completely different issue. With all your
influence, I bet you could persuade them to at least run the document
through Acrobat Distiller to turn it into a .pdf?!

My bad for forwarding info from internal.
I knew that my copies were in PDF, but did not know if they combined all
the erratas in to a newer doc or what....
