(20) WRITE LONG (X’32’ or X’33’)
This command operates similarly to the READ SECTOR(S) command except that
the device writes the data and the ECC bytes transferred from the host system to
the disk medium. The device does not generate ECC bytes by itself. The WRITE
LONG command supports only single sector operation.
The number of ECC bytes to be transferred is fixed to 4 bytes and can not be
changed by the SET FEATURES command.
This command is operated under the following conditions:
The command is issued in a sequence of the READ LONG or WRITE LONG
(to the same address) command issuance. (WRITE LONG command can be
continuously issued after the READ LONG command.)
If above condition is not satisfied, the command operation is not guaranteed.
