As soon as the receive buffer becomes full, receive buffer overflow is returned, and subsequent commands are
canceled.
The ACK or NAK response must commence within 20ms.
When a new command has been received during the processing of an non-interruptible command, the receive
verification code is returned within 20ms, after which the applicable ERROR code is returned, and the
processing of the previous command is resumed.
When it takes time for execution to be completed, it is to be possible for the next command to be processed (in
principle, after the ACK response) without waiting for the completion of the said execution. (This applies only to
commands whose processing can be interrupted.)
When a command which does not entail a transfer of the deck mode is received, the message of having
completed the received command is returned regardless of the deck mode.
