Input parameters from the device
Sector Count
This parameter represents the number of requested sectors not transferred.
Sector Number
This parameter represents the sector number of the sector to be transferred.
(L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains current LBA bits 0–7. (L=1)
Cylinder High/Low
This parameter represents the cylinder number of the sector to be transferred.
(L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains current LBA bits 8–15 (Low), 16–23 (High).
(L=1)
H
This parameter represents the head number of the sector to be transferred.
(L=0)
In LBA mode this register contains current LBA bits 24–27. (L=1)
The drive internally uses 40 bytes of ECC on all data read or writes. The 4 byte mode of operation is
provided via an emulation technique. As a consequence of this emulation it is recommended that the
40 byte ECC mode be used for all tests to confirm the operation of the ECC hardware. Unexpected
results may occur if such testing is performed using the 4 byte mode.
