Figure 5.1 shows an example of the execution of the READ MULTIPLE command.

Block count specified by SET MULTIPLE MODE command = 4 (number of sectors in a block)

READ MULTIPLE command specifies;

Number of requested sectors = 9 (Sector Count register = 9)

Number of sectors in incomplete block = remainder of 9/4 =1
