Speaking of which .. I just read an announcement that someone (of course
the name eludes me) announced a DVD Burner that's SATA.

Found it:

a) Are there provisions in the SATA (1) SPEC for support of
non-disk units?

b) if (strcmp(a, "no"))
Do you know anything about it, ie is it SATA1 or 2 or what?

c) Let's ponder one gets a unit like this - is it usable with
libata yet?

d) if (strcmp(c, "no"))
Will it? :)
