Addressing Of Hdd Registers; Table 37. I/O Address Map - Hitachi 7K100 - Travelstar - Hard Drive Specifications

7.11 Addressing of HDD registers

The host addresses the drive through a set of registers called a Task File. These registers are mapped into the host's
I/O space. Two chip select lines (CS0- and CS1-) and three address lines (DA00–02) are used to select one of these
registers, while a DIOR- or DIOW- is provided at the specified time.
The chip select line CS0- is used to address the Command Block registers while the CS1- is used to address Con-
trol Block registers.
The following table shows the I/ O address map.
