What are you trying for?  Your own data recovery or fast possibly
bad data, e.g., video data off a raw partition?

For fast bad data you want to set the RC (read continuous) bit.
For roll-your-own recovery you want to clear AWRE and ARRE
and clear TB (transfer block).

Last I heard the -v mode page editor was up and running.
