When SSSIE (Byte 3, bit 7) = 1, this field determines the disk drive’s SCSI

ID. When changing SCSI ID via the MODE SELECT command, the SCSI ID

changes after the next reset or power cycle. If at initial power on the SSSIE

SCSI ID

 

bit is set to 1 (the bit’s previous setting was saved to disk) the Software

 

 

Selectable SCSI ID field’s value determines the disk drive’s SCSI ID.

Reselection

 

The value of this field specifies the number of reselection attempts the drive

will make to the initiator. A value of 0 indicates an infinite number of rese-

 

 

lection attempts.

is in effect. The disk drive operates as if its Spin Delay jumper was installed.

Auto Master

 

When this field = 0, this disk drive does not act as the master in a storage

Preserve Synchronous and Wide Mode. If set = 1, this bit causes the disk

drive to preserve the most recent wide and synchronous states for all initi-

initiates a synchronous transfer negotiation with the initiator. This is done

set, or bus device reset. The negotiation is done for each initiator. Note that

 

 

if both ISN and IWN (Byte 5, bit 0) are set =1, the wide data transfer ne-

 

 

gotiation takes place first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initiate Wide Negotiation. When this field is set = 1, the disk drive initiates

 

 

a wide data transfer negotiation with the initiator. This is done on the first

 

 

selection with ATTENTION following a power on reset, bus reset, or bus de-

 

 

vice reset. The negotiation is done for each initiator. Note that if the disk

IWN

0

drive is not capable of actually transferring data on a wide bus, the firmware

 

 

will only negotiate for an 8-bit bus. If both ISN (Byte 5, bit 1) and IWN are

 

 

set =1, the wide data transfer negotiation takes place first. A wide data

 

 

transfer negotiation causes the disk drive to reset any synchronous agree-

 

 

ment to asynchronous mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Stagger Spin Delay is a value in 100 millisecond units that is used to

 

 

determine the length of the period of time delay before starting the disk

 

 

drive’s motor if the Stagger Spin feature is used. The actual amount of the

 

 

delay is determined using the following formula:

Stagger

28h

Spin Up Delay = (SCSI ID x Stagger Spin Delay).

Spin Delay

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refer to the description of Delay Spin (Byte 3, bit 4).

 

 

Note that for the value in Stagger Spin Delay field to have effect, the Spin

 

 

Delay hardware jumper must be installed (Chapter 3).

 

 

 

ASDP

0

Always Save Data Pointers. If set = 1, the drive will always send an SDP

message before sending a DISCONNECT message.

Enable Quiet Seek Mode. If set = 1, Quiet Seek mode is enabled.

Use Same Cylinder Optimization in OPTWORK. When set = 1, helps multi-

ple sequential streams.

Show All Errors. When this field = 1, errors usually hidden are shown.
