ATA Command Description

SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual

When the requested sectors have been verified, the card clears BSY and generates an interrupt.
Upon command completion, the Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head, and
sector number of the last sector verified.

If an error occurs, the verify terminates at the sector where the error occurs. The Command
Block registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error
occurred. The Sector Count Register contains the number of sectors not yet verified.
