5.6.5 Format Track - 50h
This command writes the desired head and cylinder of the selected drive with a vendor unique data pattern (typically
FFh or 00h). To remain host backward compatible, the CompactFlash Storage Card expects a sector buffer of data
from the host to follow the command with the same protocol as the Write Sector(s) command although the
information in the buffer is not used by the CompactFlash Storage Card. If LBA=1 then the number of sectors to
format is taken from the Sec Cnt register (0=256). The use of this command is not recommended.
