In the few dozen devices from various manufacturers that I've had a reason to look at in the lab, I don't think I've ever seen one that did NOT terminate the burst before all data was transferred (not counting commands transferring 1 sector or less). And I've never seen one do a UDMA Pause either. They all seem to terminate for flow control rather than Pause. YMMV. jcastle Subscribe/Unsubscribe instructions can be found at www.t13.org.
