DISK DRIVE OPERATION

6.7Timing

The minimum cycle time supported by the device in PIO mode 3, 4 and Multiword DMA mode 1, 2 respectively, shall always be greater than, or equal to the minimum cycle time defined by the associated mode. For example, a device supporting PIO mode 4 timing shall not report a value less than 120ns, the minimum cycle time defined for PIO mode 4 timings.

6.7.1 Register transfers

Figure 6-1defines the relationships between the interface signals for register transfers. Peripherals reporting support for PIO mode 3 or 4 shall power up in a PIO mode 0, 1, or 2.

For PIO modes 3 and above, the minimum value of t0 is specified by word 68 in the IDENTIFY DEVICE parameter list. Table 6-16 defines the minimum value that shall be placed in word 68.

IORDY will be supported when PIO modes 3 or 4 are the current mode of operation.

NOTE Some devices implementing the PACKET Command feature set prior to this standard power up in PIO mode 3 and enable IORDY as the default.
