When the drive receives this command, it checks the contents of the Feature register, clears BSY, and generates an interrupt. If the value in the Feature register is not supported or is invalid, the drive posts an Aborted Command error.
A host can choose the transfer mechanism by Set Transfer Mode and specifying a value in the Sector Count register in feature 03. The upper 5 bits define the type of transfer, and the low order 3 bits encode the mode value. Refer to the following table for details.
Table 8-12 Transfer Mode Values

PIO flow control transfer mode | 00001 | mode |
Multiword DMA mode | 00100 | mode |
Ultra DMA mode | 01000 | mode |
