Table 52 Format Track Command (50h)
The Format Track command formats a single logical track on the device. Each good sector of data on the track will be initialized to zero with write operation. At this time, whether the sector of data is initialized correctly is not verified with read operation. Any data previously stored on the track will be lost.
Output Parameters To The Device
LBA Low | In LBA mode, this register specifies LBA address bits 0 - 7 to be formatted. (L=1) |
LBA High/Mid | The cylinder number of the track to be formatted. (L=0) |
| In LBA mode, this register specifies LBA address bits 8 - 15 (Mid), 16 - 23 (High) to be |
