Table 133 Read Sector(s) Command (20h/21h)
The Read Sector(s) 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.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the read will be terminated at the failing sector.
