Figure 103. Seek command (7xh)
The Seek command initiates a seek to the designated track and selects the designated head. The device
does not need to be formatted for a seek to execute properly.
Output Parameters To The Device
Sector Number In LBA mode this register specifies the LBA address bits 0–7 for seek. (L = 1)
Cylinder High/Low This is the cylinder number of the seek.
In LBA mode this register specifies the LBA address bits 8–15 (Low) and bits
16–23 (High) for seek. (L = 1)
H This indicates the head number of the seek.
In LBA mode this register specifies the LBA address bits 24–27 for seek. (L = 1)
Input Parameters From The Device
Sector Number In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
Cylinder High/Low In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits
16–23 (High). (L = 1)
