CMD_UPDATE/ETD_UPDATE -- write out the track buffer if it is dirty.
The trackdisk device does not write data sectors unless it is
necessary (you request that a different track be used) or until the
user requests that an update be performed. This improves system speed
by caching disk operations. These commands ensure that any
buffered data is flushed out to the disk. If the track buffer has not
been changed since the track was read in, these commands do nothing.
ETD_UPDATE command checks for diskchange.
