Table 173 Write Multiple Ext Command (39h)
The Write Multiple Ext command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device, and then the data is
written to the disk media.
Command execution is identical to the Write Sector(s) Ext command except that an interrupt is generated for
each block (as defined by the Set Multiple command) instead of for each sector. The sectors are transferred
through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
