Disk errors occurred during Write Multiple command are posted after the attempted disk write of the block or partial block which are transferred. The Write Multiple command is terminated at the sector in error , even if it was in the middle of a block. Subsequent blocks are not transferred after an error. Interrupts are generated for each block or each sector, when DRQ is set .
After the transfer of a data block which contains a sector with error, the contents of the Command Block Registers are undefined. The host should retry the transfer as individual requests to obtain valid error information.
