Description

Type

RDATA#

Read disk data. Raw serial bit stream form the disk drive, low active.

I

 

 

Each falling edge represents a flux transition of the encoded data.

 

 

 

Write gate. This active low high current driver allows current to flow

 

18

WGATE#

through the write head .

O

 

 

It becomes active just prior to writing to the diskette.

 

 

 

Write data. This active low high current driver provides the encoded

 

16

WDATA#

data to the disk drive.

O

 

 

Each falling edge causes a flux transition on the media.

 

 

 

Head select. The high current select the floppy disk side for reading or

 

26

HDSEL#

writing. A logic “1” on the pin means side 0 will be accessed, while a

O

 

 

logic “0” means side 1 will be accessed.

 

 

 

Direction control. This high current low active output determines the

 

12

DIR#

direction of the head movement. A logic “1” on this pin means outward

O

 

 

motion , while a logic “0” means inward motion.

 

14

STEP#

Step pulse. The active low high current driver issues a low pules for

O

each track-to-track movement of the head.

 

 

 

 

 

Disk change. This input senses that the drive door is open or that the

 

 

 

diskette has possibly been changed since the last drive selection.

 

6

DSKCHG#

This input is inverted and read via bit 7 of I/O address 3F7H. The

I

 

 

DSKCHG# bit also depends upon the state of the Force Disk Change

 

 

 

bits in the Force FDD Status Change configuration register.

 

4

DS0#

Drive select 0. Active low outputs select drives 0.

O

10

MOTR0

Motor on. These active low output motor on.

O

13

3MODE

3 Mode FDD select.

O

22

WRTPRT#

Write protected. This active low Schmitt trigger input senses from the

I

 

 

disk drive that a disk is write protected.

 

20

TRK0#

Track 00. This active low Schmitt trigger input senses from the disk

I

drive that the head is positioned over the outermost track.

 

 

 

 

 

This active low Schmitt Trigger input senses from the disk drive that

 

2

INDEX#

head is positioned over the beginning of a track , as marked by an

I

 

 

index hole.
