12.49  Write Long (32h/33h)
Table 119: Write Long (32h/33h)
The Write Long command transfers the data and the ECC bytes of the designated one sector from the host to the 
device, then the data and the ECC bytes are written to the disk media.
After 512 bytes of data have been transferred, the device will keep setting DRQ = 1 to indicate that the device is 
ready to receive the ECC bytes from the host. The number of ECC bytes are either 4 or 52 according to setting of 
the Set Feature option. The default number after power on is 4 bytes.
