Only a single logical unit can operate a series of linked commands. When the IDD receives
the first command, the logical unit specified by the IDENTIFY message or the LUN field of
the CDB becomes the object of operation in a series of linked commands and the values
specified in the LUN field in the 2nd and subsequent CDBs are disregarded.
Note:
An INIT which uses the command link function must make the ATN signal in the
SELECTION phase TRUE and notify the TARG that it is capable of receiving messages
other than the COMMAND COMPLETE message. If “1” has been specified in the Link
bit of the CDB without the ATN being made TRUE by the INIT in the SELECTION
phase, the IDD terminates that command abnormally by sending a CHECK CONDITION
status (ILLEGAL REQUEST [=5] / Invalid field in CDB [=24-00]).
