Note:
For transfer of a sector of data, the host needs to read Status register (X'1F7') in order to clear
INTRQ (interrupt) signal. The Status register should be read within a period from the DRQ
setting by the device to 5 s after the completion of the sector data transfer. Note that the host
does not need to read the Status register for the reading of a single sector or the last sector in
multiple-sector reading.
condition, normal data transfer operation is not guaranteed.
When the host new command even if the device requests the data transfer (setting in DRQ
bit), the correct device operation is not guaranteed.

Data transferring commands from host to device
The execution of the following commands involves Data transfer from the host to the drive.
FORMAT TRACK
WRITE SECTOR(S)
WRITE LONG
WRITE BUFFER
WRITE VERIFY
SECURITY DISABLE PASSWORD
SECURITY ERASE UNIT
SECURITY SET PASSWORD
SECURITY UNLOCK
The execution of these commands includes the transfer one or more sectors of data from the host
to the device. In the WRITE LONG command, 516 bytes are transferred. Following shows the
protocol outline.
