(21) READ BUFFER (X’E4’)
The host system can read the current contents of the sector buffer of the device by
issuing this command. Upon receipt of this command, the device sets the BSY bit
of Status register and sets up the sector buffer for a read operation. Then the
device sets the DRQ bit of Status register, clears the BSY bit, and generates an
interrupt. After that, the host system can read up to 512 bytes of data from the
buffer.
