No explicit reaction, maybe.

But my position on this is clear: the "mem" commands are supposed  to
work  on  memory  (bus  addressable  memaory  that  is, as previously
defined a couple of times). No such prefixes will be accepted.

Instead,  support  for  storage  devices  shall  be  handled  by  the
respective  storage  device  commands, like "ide", "usb", "nand", and
(to be implemented) "dataflash" (or whatever name will be chosen).

Best regards,

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has  made  a  lot  of
people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
