9.0 Registers
9.1 Register set
Table 49: Register Set
Logic conventions: A = signal asserted
N = signal not asserted
x = either A or N
* = Mapping of registers in LBA mode
Communication to or from the device is through an I/O Register that routes the input or output data to or from the
registers addressed by the signals from the host(CS0-, CS1-, DA2, DA1, DA0, DIOR- and DIOW-).
The Command Block Registers are used for sending commands to the device or posting status from the device.
The Control Block Registers are used for device control and to post alternate status.
