Descriptor Mode (011b):
In this mode, a maximum of four bytes of READ BUFFER descriptor information are returned.
The descriptor information for the LUN receiving the command is returned. If there is no buffer
associated with the specified buffer ID, the target returns all zeroes in the READ BUFFER
descriptor. The Buffer Offset field in the CDB is ignored in this mode. The allocation length
should be set to four or greater. The target transfers the lesser of the allocation length or four bytes
of READ BUFFER descriptor. The READ BUFFER descriptor is defined in Table 4-66.
** NOTE **
This controller operates on 32-byte data buffer boundaries, and
returns a value of 5 for the offset boundary. The NVRAM operates
on a one-byte boundary and returns a value of zero for the offset
boundary.
** NOTE **
When performing Write Buffer operations to the Data Buffer, the max-
imum Transfer Length that can be written is the Buffer Capacity of the
Data Buffer minus two. The two remaining bytes in the Data Buffer
are needed to store the two byte CRC which is automatically
appended to the data when it is stored in the buffer.

The Offset Boundary field returns the boundary alignment within the selected buffer
for subsequent WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands. The value con-
tained in the offset boundary field is interpreted as a power of two.
The value contained in the buffer offset field of subsequent WRITE BUFFER and
READ BUFFER commands must be a multiple of the offset boundary raised to a
power of 2 (i.e., a multiple of 32). Refer to Table 4-69
1-3 The Buffer Capacity field returns the size of the selected buffer in bytes.
