Figure 127. Write Multiple command (C5h)
The Write Multiple command transfers one or more sectors from the host to the device, then the data is
written to the disk media.
Command execution is identical to the Write Sectors command except that an interrupt is generated for
each block—as defined by the Set Multiple command—instead of for each sector. The sectors are
transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
Output Parameters To The Device
Sector Count This indicates the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If the Sector
Count of zero is specified, then 256 sectors will be transferred.
Sector NumberThis indicates the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
Cylinder High/Low This indicates the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits
16–23 (High). (L = 1)
H This indicates the head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)
