HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 1 SECTION 6 Host So ftw are 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.
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.
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.

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 5 Control Diagnostic Registers These I/O port addresses reference three Control/Diagnostic registers: T R O P O / ID A E RE T I R W h 6 F 3s u t a t S e t a n r e t l Al .
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.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 1 SECTION 7 Interface Commands The following section describes the commands (and any parameters necessary to execute them), as well as Status and Error register bits affected.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 6 Set Feature 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.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 7 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.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 8 When enabling the Automatic Power Down sequence, the value placed in the Sector Count register is multiplied by five seconds to obtain the Time-out Interval value. If no drive commands are received from the host within the Time-out Interval, the drive automatically enters the STANDBY mode.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 9 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 .
