Use
The purpose of this call is to read sectors via a cache held in RMA memory.
Notes
To start a sequence of these operations, set R6 (cache handle) to zero on entry. Its value will be updated on exit, and subsequent calls should use this new values. Bits 4-7 of R1 should be zero, but are ignored if set.
To discard the cache once finished, just call FileCore_DiscardReadSectorsCache.
Note: For RISC OS 3.60, the value in R2 will be rounded down to be sector aligned.
