CMD_READ

read sectors of data from a disk.

This command transfers data from the track buffer to a supplied buffer. If the desired sector is already in the track buffer, no disk activity is initiated. If the desired sector is not in the buffer, the track containing that sector is automatically read in. If the data in the current track buffer has been modified, it is written out to the disk before a new track is read.
