data is read from the buffer identified by the Buffer ID, starting from offset zero in the
buffer.
The Buffer ID and Buffer Offset must both be 00h.
00010b The drive returns Allocation Length bytes of data which is read from the buffer identified
by the Buffer ID, starting from Buffer Offset bytes from the start of the buffer.
There are no restrictions on the value of Buffer ID and Buffer Offset, except that the Buffer
Offset must be kept within the buffer size.
