Seagate ST94811AB manual Set Features command, Features register values

4.1.3Set Features command

This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an inter- rupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:

Table 7:		Features register values
02H	Enable write cache (default).
03H	Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).
	Sector Count register values:
	00H		Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2).
	01H		Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2).
	08H		PIO mode 0
	09H		PIO mode 1
	0AH		PIO mode 2
