System programming:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
(Int 13h, ah=2)
|
|
in 1f7 until BSY cleared
|
|
out 1f2, AL # number of sectors
|
|
out 1f3, cl (bits 0-5) # starting sector number
|
|
out 1f4, ch # cylinder number bits 0..7, 0 based
|
|
out 1f5, cl (bits 6,7) & dh (bits 6,7) # cyl, bits 8..9, 10..11
|
|
out 1f6, dh (bits 0..3) --> bits 0..3 # head number
|
|
dh (bits 4..5) --> ??? # head number
|
|
dl (bit 0) --> bit 4 # drive number
|
|
out 1f7, 0x20 # read sectors command normal
|
|

Drive response:
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
* drive sets the busy bit in Status Reg to 1
|
|
* if command parameters are wrong:
|
|
> drive sets the aborted-command bit in the Error register and
|
|
error bit in the Status register to 1.
|
|
> Drive also sets the busy bit in the Status register to 0.
|
|
> Drive then generates an interrupt to the system.
|
|
* else:
|
|
> drive executes an implied seek to desired track and
|
|
reads sectors into sector buffer
|
|
> when sector buffer is filled and the data is ready to be
|
|
transferred, the drive sets the data-request bit to 1, sets
|
|
the busy bit to 0, and generates an interrupt.
|
|
> on a single-sector transfer, after the system has transferred
|
|
the data, the drive sets the data-request bit and the busy bit to 0.
|
|
> on a multiple-sector transfer, after the system has transferred
|
|
the first sector of data, the drive sets the data-request bit to 0,
|
|
and the busy bit to 1. When each subsequent sector is ready to be
|
|
transferred, the drive sets the data-request bit to 1, the busy bit to 0,
|
|
and generates an interrupt. When the system has tranferred the last sector,
|
|
the drive sets the data-request bit and busy bit to 0.
