They are? Got a URL for the free copy of the full specs for all ATA
revisions? What I see at
http://www.t13.org/Standards/Default...ocumentStage=2
is a list (but no links for them) and the comment "Copies of published
standards may be purchased from: ANSI, ...". Where are the free copies
then? When I Google around looking for ATA specs, I end up following
links that take me back to t13.org and they redirect you to ANSI where
they charge for them ($30 apiece for each revision of the AT Attachment
spec, and ATA-7 has 3 volume where each is $30 or all 3 for $80).

Sorry, meant ATA spec hard drive password locking. I'm sure the spec
calls it something else. According to
http://www.heise.de/ct/english/05/08/172/, it's called "Security Feature
Set". It is part of the ATA spec.
