Table 52 Format Track Command (50h)

The Format Track command formats a single logical track on the device. Each good sector of data on the

track will be initialized to zero with write operation. At this time, whether the sector of data is initialized

correctly is not verified with read operation. Any data previously stored on the track will be lost.
