5.2.2 Outline of the Shadow Block Register
Each transport layer in the host system and device has a block register, which is
called a Shadow Block Register in the host system, and a Block Register in the
device.
These registers are used when the host system issues a command to the device.
Sector Count (exp)
Sector Number (exp)
Cylinder Low (exp)
Cylinder High (exp)
Alternate Status
Note: Each of the Sector Count, Sector Number, Cylinder Low, and Cylinder
High fields has a higher-order field used for issuing the Ext command.
The fields are called Sector Count exp, Sector Number exp, Cylinder Low
exp, and Cylinder High exp, respectively. For information on writing data
to these fields, see "Device Control Field."
