partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n sectors, where n = remainder (sector count / block count).

If the Read Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple Mode command has been executed or when

Read Multiple commands are disabled, the Read Multiple operation is rejected with an Aborted Command error.

Disk errors encountered during Read Multiple commands are posted at the beginning of the block or partial block

transfer, but DRQ is still set and the data transfer will take place as it normally would, including transfer of

corrupted data, if any Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block. The

error reporting is the same as that on a Read Sector(s) Command. This command reads from 1 to 256 sectors as

specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors.The transfer begins at the sector

specified in the Sector Number Register.

At command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the last

sector read. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command

Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The flawed

data is pending in the sector buffer. Subsequent blocks or partial blocks are transferred only if the error was a

correctable data error. All other errors cause the command to stop after transfer of the block which contained the

error.

Read Long Sector

The Read Long command performs similarly to the Read Sector(s) command except that it returns 516 bytes of

data instead of 512 bytes. During a Read Long command, the CompactFlash Storage Card does not check the

ECC bytes to determine if there has been a data error. Only single sector read long operations are supported. The

transfer consists of 512 bytes of data transferred in word mode followed by 4 bytes of ECC data transferred in byte

mode. This command has the same protocol as the Read Sector(s) command. Use of this command is not

recommended.

Read Sector(s)

This command reads from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of 0 requests

256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this command is

issued and after each sector of data (except the last one) has been read by the host, the CompactFlash Storage

Card sets BSY, puts the sector of data in the buffer, sets DRQ, clears BSY, and generates an interrupt. The host
