Why not read the ATAPI documentation before posting here?
You know your OS is advanced when you stop using the Intel programming guide as a reference.

Yes, the specifications would be where to look first. Search for Multi-Media Command set.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI_Multimedia_Commands has a small description with a link to MMC-5, though it is a little dated.

MMC-5, if you remember a bit of your previous posts, is what your ATAPI calls for when reading from the CDROM.
