I think I /may/ have found my copy on ftp.seagate, although I can't be
sure. Do a search for ATAPI.DOC.

Unfortunately it's in MS Word 6.0 format (some little-known machine
specific format, I understand), but the text seems interesting!

Actually it seems to have some useful info within:

ATA Anonymous FTP Site
fission.dt.wdc.com
ATAPI directory is:  "/pub/ata"

(now I think about it I've got a feeling that I couldn't get onto
fission, but I think it was on one of the other WD machines. Perhaps I
found a copy later on seagate?).

Hope this helps,



Stuart.
