Pin Assignments
B.9 FDD Connector
The pin assignment for the FDD connector is as follows:
NO. | Signal | Description | Type | |
24 | 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 | ||||
|
|

|
| 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. |

B.10 HDD Pin Assignment
The pin assignment of the internal HDD is as follows:
NO. | Signal | Description | Type |
1 | HDDRESET# | Reset primary disk | O |
35 | RPDA0 | Primary disk address 0 | O |
33 | RPDA1 | Primary disk address 1 | O |
36 | RPDA2 | Primary disk address 2 | O |
17 | RPDD0 | Primary disk data 0 | I/O |
15 | RPDD1 | Primary disk data 1 | I/O |
13 | RPDD2 | Primary disk data 2 | I/O |
11 | RPDD3 | Primary disk data 3 | I/O |
9 | RPDD4 | Primary disk data 4 | I/O |
7 | RPDD5 | Primary disk data 5 | I/O |
5 | RPDD6 | Primary disk data 6 | I/O |
3 | RPDD7 | Primary disk data 7 | I/O |
