5.3 Host Commands
(21) READ DMA (X’C8’ or X’C9’)
This command operates similarly to the READ SECTOR(S) command except for
following events.
•
The data transfer starts at the timing of DMARQ signal assertion.
•
The device controls the assertion or negation timing of the DMARQ signal.
•
The device posts a status as the result of command execution only once at
completion of the data transfer.
When an error, such as an unrecoverable medium error, that the command
execution cannot be continued is detected, the data transfer is stopped without
transferring data of sectors after the erred sector. The device generates an interrupt
using the INTRQ signal and posts a status to the host system. The format of the
error information is the same as the READ SECTOR(S) command.
In LBA mode
The logical block address is specified using the start head No., start cylinder No.,
and first sector No. fields. At command completion, the logical block address of
the last sector and remaining number of sectors of which data was not transferred,
like in the CHS mode, are set.
The host system can select the DMA transfer mode by using the SET FEATURES
command.

Multiword DMA transfer mode 0 to 2
