DIR

Direction — This line sets the direction for the disk head. A high on this line sets the direction

 

away from the spindle. A low on this line sets the direction toward the spindle.

DISKINn

Disk In — This line goes low when a flexible disk is inserted in the A100 Disk Drive assembly.

DRIVESELn

Drive Select — A low on this line selects the A100 Disk Drive assembly.

 

DSKCHGn

Disk Change — This line goes low when a flexible disk is removed from the A100 Disk Drive

 

assembly. This line remains low until a flexible disk is installed and STEPn goes low.

HDSEL

Head Select — A low on this line selects the lower disk drive head. A high on this line selects

 

the upper disk drive head.

 

HIDENSn

High Density Select — This line goes low when a high density flexible disk is inserted in the

 

A100 Disk Drive assembly.

moves toward the disk spindle. When STEPn is low and DIR is high, the head moves away

 

from the disk spindle.
