(7) EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC (X'90')
This command performs an internal diagnostic test (self-diagnosis) of the device.
This command usually sets the DRV bit of the Drive/Head register is to 0
(however, the DV bit is not checked). If two devices are present, both devices
execute self-diagnosis.
If device 1 is present:
•
Both devices shall execute self-diagnosis.
•
The device 0 waits for up to 6 seconds until device 1 asserts the PDIAG-
signal.
•
If the device 1 does not assert the PDIAG- signal but indicates an error, the
device 0 shall append X'80' to its own diagnostic status.
•
The device 0 clears the BSY bit of the Status register and generates an
interrupt. (The device 1 does not generate an interrupt.)
•
A diagnostic status of the device 0 is read by the host system. When a
diagnostic failure of the device 1 is detected, the host system can read a status
of the device 1 by setting the DV bit (selecting the device 1).
When device 1 is not present:
•
The device 0 posts only the results of its own self-diagnosis.
•
The device 0 clears the BSY bit of the Status register, and generates an
interrupt.
Table 5.4 lists the diagnostic code written in the Error register which is 8-bit code.
If the device 1 fails the self-diagnosis, the device 0 "ORs" X'80' with its own
status and sets that code to the Error register.
