If the write cache is enabled, the ODD responds to the host with command
completion when data transfer for a WRITE or WRITE AND VERIFY command
(hereafter collectively called a write command) is completed.

processing when:
•
The eject switch is pressed.

occurs, the data in the buffer may not be written to the media correctly:
