Translate Address Page - Send Diagnostic
The translate address page allows the initiator to translate a logical block address into a physical sector
address or a physical sector into a logical block address. The address to be translated is passed to the disc
drive with Send Diagnostic command and the results are returned to the initiator during the data in phase
following the Receive Diagnostic Results command. The format of the translate address page - Send Diag-
nostic is shown in Table 5.1.1-17. The translated address is returned in the translate address page returned
after the Receive Diagnostic Results Command (see Table 5.1.1-11).

Notes.
[1] The Supplied Format field specifies the format of the address to translate field. The valid values for this
field are 000 for logical block address format or 101 for physical sector address format. If the disc drive
does not support the requested format it shall terminate the Send Diagnostic command with Check
Condition status. The sense key shall be set to Illegal Request and an additional sense code shall be set
to Invalid Field In Parameter List.
[2] The Translate Format field specifies the format to which the initiator would like the address to be trans-
lated. The valid values for this field are 000 for logical block address format or 101 for physical sector
address format. The Translate Format field must be different than the Supplied Format Field. If the disc
drive does not support the requested format it shall terminate the command with Check Condition status.
The sense key shall be set to Illegal Request and an additional sense code shall be set to Invalid Field In
Parameter List.
[3] The Address to Translate field contains a single address the initiator is requesting the disc drive to
translate. The format of this field is defined by the Supplied Format Field. The supported formats are
shown in Table 5.1.1-14a and Table 5.1.1-14b.
For systems which support disconnection, the disc drive will disconnect while executing this command.
