This command allows the host a method of
determining the exact number of times a user sector
has been erased and programmed. The controller
responds with a 512 byte buffer of information on
the desired cylinder, head and sector with the
actual Logical Address along with the Hot Count
for that sector. Table 6-6 represents the
information in the buffer. Please note that this
command is unique to the SanDisk CompactFlash
Memory Card.
