10.7.11 Alternate Status Register

- CS1

DA2-DA0 : 6

Read only

This register contains the same information as the status register in the Task File. The only difference is that this register being read does not imply interrupt acknowledge or doesn’t reset a pending interrupt.

See the description of ‘‘ status resister’’ for definitions of the bit in this register.

10.7.12 Device Control Register

- CS1 DA2-DA0 : 6 Write only

This register contains the following two control bits.

----

----

----

1

SRST

- IEN

----

Bit 7-4	not used
Bit 3	Reserved (recommended to set 1)
Bit 2	SRST (Soft Reset) -- SRST= 1 indicates that the drive is held reset and sets BSY bit in Status
	register. All internal registers are reset as shown in Table 10.12-1 . If two drives are daisy chained
	on the interface, this bit will reset both drives simultaneously , regardless of the selection by Device
	address bit in DEVICE/HEAD register.
Bit 1	- IEN (Interrupt Enable) -- When -IEN = 0, and the drive is selected by Drive select bit in
	DEVICE/HEAD register, the drive interrupt to the host is enabled. When this bit is set, the - INTRQ
	pin will be in a high impedance state, whether a pending interrupt is found or not.
Bit 0	not used

10.7.13 Device Address register4

- CS1

DA2-DA0 : 7

read only

The device address register is a read-only register used for diagnostic purposes. The followings are definitions of bits for this register:

RSVD

- WTG

- HS3

- HS2

- HS1

- HS0

- DS1

- DS0

Bit 7	Reserved -- high impedance
Bit 6	- WTG (Write Gate) -- This bit is active when a Write to the disk is in progress.
Bit 5 - Bit 2	- HS3 to - HS0 (Head Select bits) -- Bit 5 through 2 are one's complement of the binary coded address of
	currently selected head which is shown by Head Select bit in SDH register.
Bit 1	- DS1 (Drive Select 1)	-- -DS1=0, when SLAVE drive is selected and active.
Bit 0	- DS0 (Drive Select 0)	-- -DS0=0, when single mode or MASTER drive in Master/Slave mode is selected
	and active.

Note) The following facts should be taken into consideration when this resister is in use.

-WG reflects actual write gate in the drive, however, because of address transition or cache operation, there is no direct connection with the data transferred between host and drive.

-HEAD SELECT represents one’s complement of the binary coded address of currently selected head, but does not show actual selection of the head.

4ATA-2 Notes: This register is obsolete. A device is not supposed to respond to a read of this address. If a device does respond, it shall be sure not to drive the DD7 signal to prevent possible conflict with floppy disk implementations.

The drive supports this register to maintain compatibility for ATA-1.
