Hardware

CompactFlash Adapter (J23)

The board contains a Type II PC card socket, which allows for the insertion of a CompactFlash Card. The CompactFlash (CF) Card acts as a standard IDE Drive and is connected to the primary IDE bus. If a CompactFlash card is installed, only one additional IDE drive may be added to the primary bus.

Jumpers are used to select the Master/Slave mode and the voltage selection (+5V or +3.3V). Refer to Table 2-4, Jumper Settings for more information.

PDD3

Disk Data 3 – These signals (D0-D15) carry the Data, Commands, and Status

 

 

between the host and the controller. D0 is the LSB of the even Byte of the

 

 

Word. D8 is the LSB of the Odd Byte of the Word. All Task File operations

 

 

occur in byte mode on the low order bus D0-D7, while all data transfers are

 

 

16 bit using D0-D15 to provide the disk data signals.

Primary Chip Select 1 – This signal, along with CE2*, selects the card and

 

 

indicates when a byte or word operation is being performed. This signal

 

 

accesses the even byte or odd byte of the word depending on A0 and CE2*.
