Operations

6.2.2 Logical address

(1) CHS mode

Logical address assignment starts from physical cylinder (PC) 0, physical head (PH) 0, and physical sector (PS) 1 and is assigned by calculating the number of sectors per track that is specified by the INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command. If the last sector in a zone of a physical head is used, the track is switched and the next logical sector is placed in the initial sector in the same zone of the subsequent physical head.

After the last physical sector of the last physical head is used in the zone, the subsequent zone is used and logical sectors are assigned from physical head 0 in the same way.

Figure 6.5 shows an example of 4 heads configuration. (assuming there is no track skew).
