Here are some documents from the T10 (SCSI) web site which describe the CDB
interface to SCSI and ATAPI disk drives.

There are other related and required documents there, as well.

SBC describes the command sets for block-oriented direct-access devices
such as magnetic disk drives.

Dear all,

Is there a PACKET command opcode for a harddisk implementing the PACKET
command feature set, which allows me to write to the disk (e.g. sector
by sector) similar to the WRITE SECTOR(S) command for older devices? If
yes, where is it specified (I could only get information on the PACKET
command in general, but not on the PACKET command opcodes from the
current ATA/ATAPI 6 specification)? If not, how do I write data to a
harddisk implementing ATA/ ATAPI 6?

Thank you in advance!

Yours sincerely,
Matthias Fuegger
