Maxtor recommends that you make a backup copy of the files on any existing hard drives prior to installing the new drive. If required, this data may then be copied to the Maxtor hard drive after it has been installed in the computer. Refer to your computer user’s manual for detailed data backup instructions. -

Page 35: Task File Registers
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE SECTION 6 Host Software Interface The host communicates with the drive through a set of controller registers accessed via the host’s I/O ports. These registers divide into two groups: the Task File, used for passing commands and command parameters and the Control/Diagnostic registers. -
Page 36: Sector Count Register
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE Sector Count Register Holds the number of sectors to be sent during a Read or Write command, and the number of sectors per track during a Format command. A value of zero in this register implies a transfer of 256 sectors. A multi- sector operation decrements the Sector Count register. -
Page 37: Command Register

When this register is written, the BUSY bit in the Status register sets, and interrupt request to the host clears;... -

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE Control Diagnostic Registers These I/O port addresses reference three Control/Diagnostic registers: I/O PORT READ WRITE 3F6h Alternate Status Fixed Disk Control 3F7h Digital Input Not used Alternate Status Register Contains the same information as the Status register in the Task File. However, this register may be read at any time without clearing a pending interrupt. -
Page 40: Reset And Interrupt Handling
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE Reset and Interrupt Handling Reset Handling One of three different conditions may cause a reset: power on, hardware reset or software reset. All three cause the interface processor to initialize itself and the Task File registers of the interface. A reset also causes a set of the Busy bit in the Status register. -

Page 42: Read Commands
INTERFACE COMMANDS Read Commands Read Sector(s) Reads from 1 to 256 sectors, as specified in the Command Block, beginning at the specified sector. (A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors.) Immediately after the Command register is written, the drive sets the BSY bit and begins execution of the command. -
Page 43: Read Dma
INTERFACE COMMANDS Read DMA Multi-word DMA Identical to the Read Sector(s) command, except that 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 drive issues only one interrupt per command to indicate that data transfer has terminated and status is available. -
Page 44: Write Commands
INTERFACE COMMANDS Set Multiple Mode Enables the controller to perform Read and Write Multiple operations, and establishes the block count for these commands. Before issuing this command, the Sector Count register should be loaded with the number of sectors per block. The drives support block sizes of 2, 4, 8 and 16 sectors. When this command is received, the controller sets BSY and examines the Sector Count register contents. -
Page 45: Write Dma
INTERFACE COMMANDS Write Multiple Performs similarly to the Write Sector(s) command, except that: 1. The controller sets BSY immediately upon receipt of the command, 2. Data transfers are multiple sector blocks and 3. The Long bit and Retry bit is not valid. Command execution differs from Write Sector(s) because: 1. -

Page 47: Read Native Max Address
INTERFACE COMMANDS Read Native Max Address This command returns the native maximum address. The native maximum address is the highest address accepted by the drive in the factory default condition. The native maximum address is the maximum address that is valid when using the SET MAX ADDRESS command. Set Max Individual SET MAX commands are identified by the value placed in the Features register. -
Page 48: Power Mode Commands
INTERFACE COMMANDS Power Mode Commands Standby Immediate – 94h/E0h Spin down and do not change time out value. This command will spin the drive down and cause the drive to enter the STANDBY MODE immediately. If the drive is already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed. -
Page 49: Default Power-On Condition
INTERFACE COMMANDS Default Power-on Condition The drive’s default power on condition is the ACTIVE MODE. Upon receiving a Power Mode command, except the SLEEP MODE command, the drive sets BSY and performs the requested power operation. Once the requested Power Mode change has begun, the drive resets BSY and generates an interrupt - without waiting for the drive to spin up or spin down. -

Page 53: Initialize Drive Parameters
INTERFACE COMMANDS Initialize Drive Parameters Enables the drive to operate as any logical drive type. The drive will always be in the translate mode because of Zone Density Recording, which varies the number of sectors per track depending on the zone. Through setting the Sector Count Register and Drive Head Register, this command lets the host alter the drive's logical configuration. -
Page 54: Seek, Format, And Diagnostic Commands
INTERFACE COMMANDS Seek, Format and Diagnostic Commands Seek Initiates a seek to the track, and selects the head specified in the Command block. 1. Sets BSY in the Status register, 2. Initiates the Seek, 3. Resets BSY and 4. Generates an interrupt. The drive does not wait for the seek to complete before returning the interrupt. -
Page 55: S.m.a.r.t. Command Set
INTERFACE COMMANDS S.M.A.R.T. Command Set Execute S.M.A.R.T. The Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) command has been implemented to improve the data integrity and data availability of hard disk drives. In some cases, a S.M.A.R.T. capable device will predict an impending failure with sufficient time to allow users to backup their data and replace the drive before data loss or loss of service. -
