10.5 Data Register
This register is used to transfer data blocks between the device data buffer and the host. It is also the
register through which sector information is transferred on a Format Track command and the configuration
information is transferred on an Identify Device command.
All data transfers are 16 bits wide, except for ECC byte transfers, which are 8 bits wide. Data transfers are
PIO only.
The register contains valid data only when DRQ = 1 is in the Status Register.

Bit Definitions
SRST (RST)
Software Reset. The device is held at reset when RST = 1. Setting RST = 0 again
enables the device. To ensure that the device recognizes the reset, the host must set
RST = 1 and wait for at least 5 microseconds before setting RST = 0.
-IEN
Interrupt Enable. When IEN = 0, and the device is selected, the device interrupts to the
host will be enabled. When IEN = 1 or the device is not selected, the device interrupts to
the host will be disabled.
