13.17 Read Multiple (C4h)
Table 96: Read Multiple (C4h)
The Read Multiple command reads one or more sectors of data from disk media and then transfers the data from
the device to the host.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. The command execution is identical to the
Read Sectors command with one exception: an interrupt is generated for each block—as defined by the Set Multi-
ple command—instead of for each sector.
Output parameters to the device
Sector Count
This indicates the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified, 256
sectors will be transferred.
LBA Low
This indicates the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
LBA High/Mid
This indicates the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode, this register contains LBA bits 8–15 (Mid), 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 LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)
Input parameters from the device
Sector Count
This indicates the number of requested sectors not transferred. This number is zero unless
an unrecoverable error occurs.
LBA Low
This indicates the sector number of the last transferred sector. (L = 0)
In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
