Figure 159. Write Sectors Command (30h/31h)
The Write Sectors command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device; the data is then
written to the disk media.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector.
Output parameters to the device
Sector Count The number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified,
256 sectors will be transferred.
Sector Number The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 0 - 7. (L=1)
Cylinder High/Low The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 8 - 15 (Low), 16 - 23 (High). (L=1)
H The head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 24 - 27. (L=1)
R The retry bit. This bit is ignored.
