HIZ -WTG -H3 -H2 -H1 -H0 -DS1 -DS0
Bit Definitions
HIZ High Impedance. This bit is not a device and will always be in a high impedance state.
-WTG Write Gate. This bit is 0 when writing to the disk device is in progress.
-H3, -H2,-
H1,-H0-
-Head Select. These four bits are the one's complement of the binary coded address of the cur-
rently selected head. Bit -H0 is the least significant.
-DS1 Drive Select 1. The Drive Select bit for device 1 is active low. DS1 = 0 when device 1 (slave) is
selected and active.
-DS0 Drive Select 0. The Drive Select bit for device 0 is active low. DS0 = 0 when device 0 (master) is
selected and active.

1 L 1 DRV HS3 HS2 HS1 HS0
L Binary encoded address mode select. When L = 0, addressing is by CHS mode. When L = 1,
addressing is by LBA mode.
DRV Device. When DRV = 0, device 0 (master) is selected. When DRV = 1, device 1 (Slave) is
selected.
HS3, HS2,
HS1, HS0
Head Select. These four bits indicate the binary encoded address of the head. Bit HS0 is the least
significant bit. At command completion, these bits are updated to reflect the currently selected
head. The head number may be from zero to the number of heads minus one. In LBA mode, HS3
through HS0 contain bits 24–27 of the LBA. At command completion these bits are updated to
reflect the current LBA bits 24–27.
