Figure 132. Write DMA command (CAh/CBh)
The Write DMA command transfers one or more sectors of data from the host to the device and then the
data is written to the disk media.
The sectors of data are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command. Data transfers are qualified by
DMARQ and are performed by the slave-DMA channel. The device issues only one interrupt per com-
mand to indicate that data transfer has terminated and status is available.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector.
Output Parameters To The Device
Sector Count This indicates the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is
specified, then 256 sectors will be transferred.
Sector NumberThis indicates the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
Cylinder High/Low This indicates the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits
16–23 (High). (L = 1)
