This register contains the device and head numbers.
Bit Definitions
Head Select. These four bits indicate the binary encoded address of the head. Bi
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.
HS3,HS2,HS1,HS0
Device. When DRV = 0, device 0 (master) is selected. When DRV = 1, device 1
(Slave) is selected.
DRV
Binary encoded address mode select. When L = 0 , addressing is by CHS mode.
hen L = 1, addressing is by LBA mode.
