4-3-1-5. Write Data (WRTDATA) - This line
is
used
for
data
that
is
to
be written
on
the
disk. A transi-
tion from logical
one
to
logical zero changes the
polarity
of
read/write head
current
and causes a
data
bit
to
be written
on
the
disk. This data line
is
active
when the WRTGATE
and
READY signals are logical
zero, and
the
WRTPRT signal
is
logical one.

on
this
line enables data
to
