5-44 C141-E050-02EN
command is used for checking ECC function by combining with the WRITE
LONG command.
Number of ECC bytes to be transferred is fixed to 4 bytes and cannot be changed
by the SET FEATURES command.
The READ LONG command supports only single sector operation.

(18) WRITE LONG (X’32’ or X’33’)
This command operates similarly to the READ SECTOR(S) command except that
the device writes the data and the ECC bytes transferred from the host system to
the disk medium. The device does not generate ECC bytes by itself. The WRITE
LONG command supports only single sector operation.
The number of ECC bytes to be transferred is fixed to 4 bytes and can not be
changed by the SET FEATURES command.
