 === START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
 Device Model:     SAMSUNG SV0844D
 Serial Number:    0122J1FK927335
 Firmware Version: KU100
 Device is:        In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]
 ATA Version is:   3
 ATA Standard is:  Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated
 Local Time is:    Sat Jan 24 18:05:02 2004 GMT

 ==> WARNING: Contact developers at
 sma...@li...; may need -F samsung[2]
 enabled.


 SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 85-87 don't
 show if SMART is enabled. A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting.
 To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.


 Using both -F samsung and -F samsung2 yields the same complaints from
 smartctl. I was unsure how I should use the -T option so I did not
 experiment.

 I've contacted you, now what? :)
