	ATA and ATAPI Overview
		ATAPI is fundamentally different from ATA (ATA-1, ATA-2, ATA-2) in the way it operates through the use of command packets.
		ATAPI commands differ because they do not contain a LUN field or have a control byte.
		One noticeable difference between ATAPI and ATA is how command is written with the first DRQ in ATA whereas in ATAPI the command packet is written instead.

	ATA/ATAPI errata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Some ATAPI master devices float the bus when a non-existant slave device is selected.
		Note that ATAPI masters that don't keep a separate copy of the error and status registers for drive 1 may continue to show those error conditions when switching back to drive 0.
		In this scenario, there is one ATAPI device on the chain and it is master.

	What is ATAPI?
		ATAPI is a set of extensions to the ATA standards to allow ATA CD/DVD drives and tape drives.
		Maintenance of the ATAPI standard was later transferred to the T13 Technical Committee, the group that defines the ATA standard.
		The ATAPI standard ceased to exist as a separate document when it became part of the core ATA standard with the publication of ATA-4 in 1998.

		Also, the ATAPI guys unsuccesfully described the ATA bus in their 8020 series of specifications; their descriptions, especially of master/slave issues, are full of bugs.
		ATAPI tape devices are defined by QIC 157D.
		The command packets for ATAPI tape devices are a subset of the SCSI Streaming commands specification and QIC-121.

		They are generally priced higher than their ATAPI counterparts and are more often used in a business/office environment where connectivity and reputation for reliability are more desired.
		ATAPI units are generally much less expensive and are more often used in name-brand systems as well as by typical home computer users.
		Since the ATAPI units are generally more popular with the masses, we will start with them and follow with a SCSI Roundup article shortly.

	What is ATAPI? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: AT Attachment Packet Interface
		ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) is an interface between your computer and attached CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.
		ATAPI provides the additional commands needed for controlling a CD-ROM player or tape backup so that your computer can use the IDE interface and controllers to control these relatively newer device types.
		ATAPI is part of the Enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface (also known as ATA-2).

	Enhanced IDE/Fast-ATA/ATA-2 FAQ [1 of 2]
		The ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) is a standard designed for devices such as CD-ROMs and tape drives that plug into an ordinary ATA (IDE) port.
		Moreover, the complexity and novelty of ATAPI means that there are some variations even among implementations of the same revision.
		Writing an OS ATAPI driver that works with all CD-ROMs, therefore, is a daunting task and not all have succeeded equally well.

	ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) / IDE
		The ATAPI interface is a derivative of the standard IDE interface; regular IDE commands cannot be used properly for CD-ROM drives, so a modified command structure was created.
		ATAPI itself is described in more detail here, in the general discussion of the IDE/ATA device interface.
		Warning: One problem that is often encountered when configuring ATAPI devices is accidentally connecting them to a connector on a sound card that appears to be an IDE channel but really is not.

	LinuxHardware.org \| Addonics IDE/ATAPI to SCSI Converters
		Addonics thinks that they have the solution with their IDE to SCSI and ATAPI to SCSI adapters.
		The ATAPI to SCSI converter was flawless in our testing, providing identical or even better performance to that of the device running on the IDE bus.
		The ATAPI converter's price is a little more difficult to justify with a price comparison but with the dropping price of CD-RWs to the sub-$80 mark, you wouldn't pay too much more for an IDE drive with SCSI converter over a SCSI drive at a slower speed.

	ATA-ATAPI.COM -- ATA/ATAPI History
		The correct documents to use for ATAPI are ATA/ATAPI-4 (or higher) and SCSI MMC or MMC-2.
		ATAPI introduced a new command execution protocol for use on the ATA interface so that these new CD-ROM and tape drives could, in theory, be on the same ATA cable with an ATA hard disk drive.
		The ATAPI command and reset protocols are new.

	How to enable 48-bit Logical Block Addressing support for ATAPI disk drives in Windows XP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		To determine if you have the latest ATAPI driver, verify that you have version 5.1.2600.1135 or later of the Atapi.sys file in your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder.
		If you enable the 48-bit LBA ATAPI support by editing the registry setting, but you lack both a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS and a hard disk that has a capacity that is see comment than 137 GB, you have not changed the system.
		If you enable 48-bit ATAPI support in the registry and you have a hard disk that has a capacity that is see comment than 137 GB, but you do not have a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS, only the first 137 GB of the hard disk are addressable.

	CD-Writing with an ATAPI CDR Mini-HOWTO LG #57
		The documentation for getting a CDR up and running under Linux is an excellent piece of work, however, if all you want to do is burn a few MP3's the documentation can be overwhelming.
		I will be focusing only on ATAPI drives as SCSI drives work well with out too many problems.
		Make sure your BIOS recognizes the new drive and when the system boots make sure it is recognized as an ATAPI drive, if it is not, this will never work.

	48-Bit LBA Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows 2000
		Operating systems that do not have 48-bit LBA support enabled by default (such as Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Windows 2000) that are installed on a partition that spans beyond the 28-bit LBA boundary (137GB) will experience data corruption or data loss.
		If you have a 48-bit compatible BIOS that can support a hard disk that has a capacity of more than 137 GB, only the first 137 GB of the hard disk is addressable.
		If you enable the 48-bit LBA ATAPI support by editing the registry setting, but you lack both a 48-bit LBA compatible BIOS and a hard disk that has a capacity of more than 137 GB, the hard disk continues to function as a standard hard disk with an addressable limit of 137 GB.

	AT attachment packet interface - ATAPI
		Short for AT Attachment Packet Interface, ATAPI is an extension to ATA which allows support for devices such as CD-ROM drives, Tape drives and other computer peripherals and not just hard disk drives.
		Before the release of ATA-4 or ATAPI-4, ATAPI was a separate standard from ATA.

		What you need is the ATAPI CDROM driver that has been included in the kernel source officially since at least kernel version 1.1.85.
		The third line, therefore, indicates that there is an FX400 ATAPI CDROM located on the first device of the second interface.
		You will also have to reconfigure your ATAPI CDROM and SB16IDE in DOS, Win 3.1x, Win 4.x, and OS/2, because the change of address won't be realized by these inferior (IMHO) operating systems.

		The process is slightly different for ATAPI and SCSI drives.

	Software
		There were only a couple of programs out there that would dump some of the parameters of IDE hard drives, but they had no support for CDROM and most of the time they did not follow the ATA specs.
		It was written specifically to test ATAPI drives for the Oak Chipset Bug.
		WAVDUMP is a DOS command line utility that will dump the header contents of a WAV file, then check the remainder of the file to make sure that the contents of the data matches the header.

	ASPI drivers explained
		To use ATAPI drives with Win95/98/Me In order to use CDDA32 with ATAPI drives under Win95/98/Me, you must have ASPI drivers installed.
		The trouble is that the ones that they are shipping now do not directly support ATAPI drives, only the SCSI ones and their controllers.
		Once the new drivers are installed on the machine, the driver checks for a specific registry entry during the boot up process.
