T13/1410D revision 3aANSI NCITS.***-xxxxAmerican National Standardfor Information Systems AT Attachmentwith Packet Interface - 6 (ATA/ATAPI-6)SecretariatInformation Technology Industry CouncilApproved mm dd yyAmerican National Standards Institute, Inc.AbstractThis standard specifies the AT Attachment Interface between host systems and storage devices. It provides acommon attachment interface for systems manufacturers, system integrators, software suppliers, and suppliersof intelligent storage devices. It includes the Packet Command feature set implemented by devices commonlyknown as ATAPI devices.This standard maintains a high degree of compatibility with the AT Attachment Interface with Packet Interface –5 (ATA/ATAPI-5), NCITS 340-2000, and while providing additional functions, is not intended to require changesto presently installed devices or existing software.

T13/1410D revision 3aAmericanNationalStandardApproval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have beenmet by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment ofthe ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached bydirectly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much morethan a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be considered, and that effort be made towards their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existencedoes not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards ornot, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, orprocedures not conforming to the standards.The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in nocircumstances give interpretation on any American National Standard. Moreover, noperson shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an AmericanNational Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute.Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whosename appears on the title page of this standard.CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn atany time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require thataction be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasersof American National Standards may receive current information on all standards bycalling or writing the American National Standards Institute.CAUTION: The developers of this standard have requested that holders of patents that may berequired for the implementation of the standard, disclose such patents to the publisher. However,neither the developers nor the publisher have undertaken a patent search in order to identifywhich, if any, patents may apply to this standard.As of the date of publication of this standard and following calls for the identification of patents thatmay be required for the implementation of the standard, notice of one or more such claims hasbeen received.By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of this claim or ofany rights in connection therewith. The patent holders have, however, filed a statement ofwillingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms andconditions to applicants desiring to obtain such a license. Details may be obtained from thepublisher.No further patent search is conducted by the developer or the publisher in respect to any standardit processes. No representation is made or implied that licenses are not required to avoidinfringement in the use of this standard.Published byAmerican National Standards Institute11 West 42nd Street, New York, New York 10036Copyright nnnn by American National Standards InstituteAll rights reserved.
