4.3.2 Set Features command
This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this
command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features regis ter, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in
the
register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read
look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:
Note. At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as
indicated above.
