Interface

-Bit 5: The Device Write Fault (DF) bit. This bit indicates that a device fault (write fault) condition has been detected.

If a write fault is detected during command execution, this bit is latched and retained until the device accepts the next command or reset.

-Bit 4: Device Seek Complete (DSC) bit. This bit indicates that the device heads are positioned over a track.

In the IDD, this bit is always set to 1 after the spin-up control is completed.

-Bit 3: Data Request (DRQ) bit. This bit indicates that the device is ready to transfer data of word unit or byte unit between the host system and the device.

-Bit 2: Always 0.

-Bit 1: Always 0.

-Bit 0: Error (ERR) bit. This bit indicates that an error was detected while the previous command was being executed. The Error register indicates the additional information of the cause for the error.

(10)Command register (X’1F7’)

The Command register contains a command code being sent to the device. After this register is written, the command execution starts immediately.

Table 5.3 lists the executable commands and their command codes. This table also lists the neccesary parameters for each command which are written to certain registers before the Command register is written.
