Host Command Reference
SC - Status Code
Compatibility: All drives
See also:
RS command
Requests the current drive status as the Hexadecimal equivalent of a binary word. Each bit in the binary word
relates to a status condition (see assignments below). The representation of this binary word as a hexadecimal
value is called the Status Code. Drives can have multiple status conditions at one time, and host systems can
typically interpret a Hexadecimal code very quickly. See Appendix E for more details on the Status Code.
Command Details:
Structure SC
Type IMMEDIATE
Usage READ ONLY
Non-Volatile NO
Register Access None
Units Hexadecimal equivalent of the binary status code word (see bit
assignments below)
Response Details:
