(Host interface)
Note:
When the drive that is not conformed to ATA is connected to the disk drive is above
configuration, the operation is not guaranteed.
HA (host adapter) consists of address decoder, driver, and receiver.
ATA is an abbreviation of "AT attachment".
conformed to the ATA-3 interface.
At high speed data transfer (PIO mode 3, mode 4, DMA mode 2 or
ultra DMA mode 2), occurrence of ringing or crosstalk of the signal
lines (AT bus) between the HA and the disk drive may be a great
cause of the obstruction of system reliability. Thus, it is necessary
that the capacitance of the signal lines including the HA and cable
does not exceed the ATA-3 and ATA-4 standard, and the cable
length between the HA and the disk drive should be as short as
possible.
