4.3.2 Set Features command
This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this com-
mand, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the
register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read
look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:
Note. At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as indicated above.
