I wasn't planning on it.  The command set is different on the 522/523
vs the 562/563 drives.   That is about all I know.   I have one of the caddy
drives but don't even have DOS drivers I could use on it to find out what
the command set is.   I know exactly one command that the 522/523
accepts, that can be used to tell the difference between it and the
562/563 drives, but that is where the information ends.
