Please store the 'dld' value in the GROUP NUMBER field. See e.g.
sd_setup_rw16_cmnd().

Are you sure that WRITE ATOMIC (16) supports dld?

Hi John,

I was assuming that DLD would be supported by the WRITE ATOMIC(16) command. After having taken another look at the latest SBC-5 draft
I see that the DLD2/DLD1/DLD0 bits are not present in the WRITE ATOMIC(16) command. So please ignore my comment above.

Thanks,

Bart.
