Table 183 Read Multiple Commands (C4h)
The Read Multiple command reads one or more sectors of data from disk media, and then transfers the data from
the device to the host.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. Command execution is identical to the Read
Sector(s) command except that an interrupt is generated for each block (as defined by the Set Multiple command)
instead of for each sector.
