The Set Multiple command enables the device to perform Read and Write Multiple commands and

transferred for each interrupt.
The default block size after power up is 0, and Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands are
disabled.
If an invalid block size is specified, an Abort error will be returned to the host, and Read Multiple
and Write Multiple commands will be disabled.
