5.3 Host Commands
(44) SET MAX ADDRESS EXT (X '37')
•
Description
This command limits specifications so that the highest address that can be
accessed by users can be specified only in LBA mode.
The address information specified with this command is set in words 1, 54, 57, 58,
60, 61, and 100 to 103 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command response. If read or
write processing is executed for an address that is outside of the new address
space, an ID Not Found error occurs.
When SC field bit 0, VV (Value Volatile), is 1, the value set by this command is
held even after power on or COMRESET. When the VV bit is 0, the value set by
this command becomes invalid when the power is turned on, and the maximum
address returns to the value most lately set when VV bit = 1. (When the command
with VV=1 has not issued before, the maximum address returns to the default
value.)
After power on, the host can issue this command only once when VV bit = 1. If this
command with VV bit = 1 is issued twice or more, any command following the first
time will result in an ID Not Found error.
When the SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed, SET MAX
ADDRESS command is aborted. The address value returns to the origin when the
SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed using the address value
returned by the READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS command.
