While the drive is in STANDBY MODE, any commands received from the host are accepted and executed
as they would in normal operation, except that the spin motor is started if required to execute a disk
command. Under these conditions, the drive will set BSY when command processing would normally begin
and will leave BSY set until the drive comes up to speed and the disk command can be executed. Disk
commands issued while the drive is in STANDBY MODE, restarts the Time-out Interval after completing
the command. A reset must be issued before attempting to issue any commands while the drive in
SLEEP MODE.
