HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 1 SECTION 6 Host Software Interface The host communicates with the drive through a set of controller registers accessed via the host’s I/O ports. These registers divide into two groups: the Task File, used for passing commands and command parameters and the Control/Diagnostic registers. Task File Registers The Task F[...]

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 2 Sector Count Register Holds the number of sectors to be sent during a Read or Write command, and the number of sectors per track during a Format command. A value of zero in this register implies a transfer of 256 sectors. A multi- sector operation decrements the Sector Count register. If an error occurs during such a[...]

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 3 Command Register Contains code for the command to be performed. Additional command information should be written to the task file before the Command register is loaded. When this register is written, the BUSY bit in the Status register sets, and interrupt request to the host clears; invalid commands abort. (Detailed [...]

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 6 Reset and Interrupt Handling Reset Handling One of three different conditions may cause a reset: power on, hardware reset or software reset. All three cause the interface processor to initialize itself and the Task File registers of the interface. A reset also causes a set of the Busy bit in the Status register. The [...]

Read Commands Read Sector(s) Read Verify Sector(s) Read Sector Buffer Read DMA Multi-word DMA Ultra DMA Read Multiple Set Multiple Write Commands Wri[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 2 Read Commands Read Sector(s) Reads from 1 to 256 sectors, as specified in the Command Block, beginning at the specified sector. (A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors.) Immediately after the Command register is written, the drive sets the BSY bit and begins execution of the command. If the drive is not already on the d[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 3 Read DMA Multi-word DMA Identical to the Read Sector(s) command, except that 1. The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command, 2. Data transfers are qualified by DMARQ and are performed by the slave-DMA channel and 3. The drive issues only one interrupt per command to indicate that data transfer ha[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 4 Set Multiple Mode Enables the controller to perform Read and Write Multiple operations, and establishes the block count for these commands. Before issuing this command, the Sector Count register should be loaded with the number of sectors per block. The drives support block sizes of 2, 4, 8 and 16 sectors. When this comma[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 5 Write Multiple Performs similarly to the Write Sector(s) command, except that: 1. The controller sets BSY immediately upon receipt of the command, 2. Data transfers are multiple sector blocks and 3. The Long bit and Retry bit is not valid. Command execution differs from Write Sector(s) because: 1. Several sectors transfer[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 6 Mode Set/Check Commands Set Features Mode Enables or disables features supported by the drive. When the drive receives this command it: 1. Sets BSY, 2. Checks the contents of the Features register, 3. Clears BSY and 4. Generates an interrupt. If the value of the register is not a feature supported by the drive, the comman[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 7 Read Native Max Address This command returns the native maximum address. The native maximum address is the highest address accepted by the drive in the factory default condition. The native maximum address is the maximum address that is valid when using the SET MAX ADDRESS command. Set Max Individual SET MAX commands are [...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 8 Power Mode Commands Standby Immediate – 94h/E0h Spin down and do not change time out value. This command will spin the drive down and cause the drive to enter the STANDBY MODE immediately. If the drive is already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed. Idle Immediate – 95h/E1h Spin up and do not change time[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 9 Default Power-on Condition The drive’s default power on condition is the ACTIVE MODE. Upon receiving a Power Mode command, except the SLEEP MODE command, the drive sets BSY and performs the requested power operation. Once the requested Power Mode change has begun, the drive resets BSY and generates an interrupt - withou[...]

INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 10 Initialization Commands Identify Drive Allows the host to receive parameter information from the drive. When the command is received, the drive: 1. Sets BSY, 2. Stores the required parameter information in the sector buffer, 3. Sets the DRQ bit and 4. Generates an interrupt. The host may then read the information out of [...]
