5.1.6 Idle–97H, E3H

This command causes the card to set BSY, enter the Idle (Read) mode, clear BSY and generate

an interrupt. If the sector count is non-zero, it is interpreted as a timer count with each count

being 5 milliseconds and the automatic power down mode is enabled. If the sector count is

zero, the automatic power down mode is disabled.

NOTE: This time base (5 msec) is different from the ATA specification.
