5.1.8 Initialize Drive Parameters–91H
This command enables the host to set the number of sectors per track and the number of heads
per cylinder. Only the Sector Count and the Card/Drive/Head registers are used by this
command.
NOTE : SanDisk recommends not using this command in any system because
DOS determines the offset to the Boot Record based on the number
of heads and sectors per track. If a CompactFlash Memory Card is
"Formatted" with one head and sector per track value, the same card
will not operate correctly with DOS configured with another heads
and sectors per track value.
