Quick status: Working: - find devices in namespace - evaluate _SDD - evaluate _GTF - simulate writing taskfile to device TODO: - write taskfile to device in a generic, non-controller-specific way - add more usage events for _SDD and _GTF (SATA) per ACPI 3.0 spec, section 9.9.3.3, page 288. --- ~Randy
