ATAPI Packet Command (A0h)
Before issuing the ATAPI Packet command, the host writes to the Byte Count
register (high and low) the maximum/preferred number of bytes to be transferred in
a single PIO DRQ. For Data Transfer commands (READ and WRITE), this value is
assumed to be greater than or equal to 512 and is ignored.
ATAPI Soft Reset (08h)
The ATAPI Soft Reset command performs a complete microprocessor reset.
Current physical and logical position is lost, and if a tape is present, a LOAD
sequence is performed, resulting in a Ready at BOP0 condition (with Unit Attn).
The DSC is set to 1 before the BSY bit is cleared.
