This command enables the ADM to perform Read and Write Multiple operations and establishes the
block count for these commands. The Sector Count Register is loaded with the number of sectors per
block. Upon receipt of the command, the ADM sets BSY to 1 and checks the Sector Count Register.
If the Sector Count Register contains a valid value and the block count is supported, the value is loaded
for all subsequent Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands and execution of those commands is
enabled. If a block count is not supported, an Aborted Command error is posted, and Read Multiple and
Write Multiple commands are disabled. If the Sector Count Register contains 0 when the command is
issued, Read and Write Multiple commands are disabled. At power on, or after a hardware or (unless
disabled by a Set Feature command) software reset, the default mode is Read and Write Multiple
disabled.

This command causes the ADM to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode, clear BSY and generate an
interrupt. Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply issuing another command (a reset is
permitted but not required). Sleep mode is also entered when internal timers expire so the host does
not need to issue this command except when it wishes to enter Sleep mode immediately. The default
value for the timer is 15 milliseconds.
