NOP (ATA Command 00)

This command allows a Host that only performs 16-bit register accesses, to check
device status.

If this command is supported, the drive shall respond, as it does to an unrecognized
command by setting the ABRT bit to 1 in the Error register, setting the Error bit in
the Status Register, clearing the BSY to 0 in the Status Register, and asserting
INTRQ signal.

This command is not supported. The device will abort the command.
