Has there been any discussion of the actual implementation of the Read
Continuous bit. As an old DASD hand (that old!) I'm extremely
reluctant to ever send bad data to the host without immediately so
stating. However the spec seems to permit it.
The question is are HDD's which support RC really sending bad data or
just using the RC as a global switch to minimize the length of error
recovery.
Discussion, or a pointer there to would be appreciated.
