Command block registers contain the cylinder, the head, and the sector addresses
of the sector (in the CHS mode) or the logical block address (in the LBA mode)
where the error occurred, and remaining number of sectors of which data was not
transferred.

Error information
*1 If the command is terminated due to an error, the remaining number of
sectors of which data was not transferred is set in this register.
(2) READ MULTIPLE (X’C4’)
This command operates similarly to the READ SECTOR(S) command. The
device does not generate an interrupt (assertion of the INTRQ signal) on each
every sector. An interrupt is generated after the transfer of a block of sectors for
which the number is specified by the SET MULTIPLE MODE command.
