Note:

For transfer of a sector of data, the host needs to read Status register (X'1F7') in order to clear INTRQ (interrupt) signal. The Status register should be read within a period from the DRQ setting by the device to starting of the sector data transfer. Note that the host does not need to read the Status register for the first and the last sector to be transferred. If the timing to read the Status register does not meet above condition, normal data transfer operation is not assured guaranteed.

When the host issues the command even if the drive requests the data transfer (DRQ bit is set), or when the host executes resetting, the device correct operation is not guaranteed.
