The READ BUFFER command transfers the data from the controller’s data buffer
memory to the host computer.
This command can be used in conjunction with the WRITE BUFFER command (see
6.37) as a diagnostic function for testing the controller's data buffer memory and the
SCSI bus. This command does not cause the controller to access the logical unit
medium.
The function of this command is determined by the Mode field as follows.
