Table 80 Command Error information

The TAG field (Byte 0 bits 4-0) contains the tag number corresponding to a queued command, if the NQ bit is cleared.

The UNL field (Byte 0 bit 6) indicates whether the error condition was a result of receiving an IDLE IMMEDIATE command with the Unload Feature. If cleared to zero, the reason for the error was not due to reception of an IDLE IMMEDIATE command with Unload Feature.
