5.3 Host Commands

(46)SET MAX ADDRESS EXT (X’37’): Option (customizing)

Description

This command limits specifications so that the highest address that can be accessed by users can be specified only in LBA mode.

The address information specified with this command is set in words 1, 54, 57, 58, 60, 61, and 100 to 103 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command response. If read or write processing is executed for an address that is outside of the new address space, an ID Not Found error occurs.

If the SC register bit is 0 and the value volatile (VV) bit is 1 when this command is executed, the specified values are maintained after a power-on reset. If the VV bit is 0 when the command is executed, the specified values are invalidated during the power-on sequence. If the VV bit is 1, the highest address value is defined as the last value specified. (If the VV bit is not set to 1, the highest address is the default value.)

After a power-on reset is performed, a host can issue the SET MAX ADDRESS (EXT) command only once if the VV bit is 1. If the SET MAX ADDRESS (EXT) command is issued twice or more, an ID Not Found error occurs.

When the SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed, all SET MAX ADDRESS commands are aborted. The address value returns to the origin when the SET MAX ADDRESS EXT command is executed using the address value returned by the READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS command.
