(25) WRITE BUFFER (X 'E8')

The host system can overwrite the contents of the data buffer of the device with a desired data pattern by issuing this command. Upon receipt of this command, the device transfers the PIO Setup. After that, 512 bytes of data are transferred from the host and the device writes the data to the buffer, then reports the status.
