        Buffer Size                             8K

        The timing is measured through the interface with the drive
        operating at nominal DC input voltages. The timing also         
        makes the following assumptions:
        
        o BIOS overhead and PC system hardware dependency have
          been subtracted from timing measurements.

        o The drive is operated using its native drive parameters.
          The average seek time is determined by averaging the seek
          time for a minimum of 1000 seeks of random length over the
          surface of the disk.
          These numbers assume spin recovery is not invoked. If 
          spin recovery is invoked, the maximum could be 40 seconds. 
          Briefly removing power can lead to spin recovery being invoked.

        Read/Write Mode:  Occurs when data is being read from or 
        written to the disk.

        Seek Mode:  Occurs while the actuator is in motion.

        Idle Mode:  Occurs when the drive is not reading, writing 
        or seeking. The motor is up to speed and DRIVE READY condition 
        exists. Actuator is residing on last accessed track. 

        Standby Mode:  Occurs when the motor is stopped, actuator 
        parked and all electronics except interface control is in 
        sleep state.  STANDBY MODE will occur after a programmable 
        time-out since last Host access occurs.  Drive ready and seek 
        complete status exist.  The drive will leave STANDBY MODE upon 
        receipt of a command which requires disk access or upon receipt 
        of a spin up command.

        Spin-up Mode: Occurs while the spindle motor is accelerating 
        from its state to its operational speed. During the typical 
        spin-up cycle, current on the 12 volt line may reach up to 900 mA 
        for up to 500 microseconds. The specified current is the averaged 
        value over the spin-up cycle.

5.0     Functional Description

        The CP3000 contains all mechanical and electronic parts 
        necessary to interpret control signals, position the recording 
        heads over the desired track, read and write data, and provide 
        a contaminant free environment for the heads and disks.

5.1  Read/Write and Control Electronics

        One integrated circuit is mounted within the sealed enclosure 
        in close proximity to the read/write heads.  Its function is 
        to provide one of two head selections, read pre-amplification, 
        and write data circuitry.

        The single microprocessor controlled circuit card provides the 
        remaining electronic functions which include:

        o       Read/Write Circuitry
        o       Rotary Actuator Control
        o       Interface Control
        o       Spin Speed Control
        o       Dynamic Braking
        o       Power Management

        At power down or the start of STANDBY MODE, the heads are 
        automatically retracted to the inner diameter of the disk.  
        There they are latched and parked on a landing zone that is 
        inside the data tracks.

5.2  Drive Mechanism

        A brushless DC direct drive motor rotates the spindle at 
        3557 rpm.  The motor/spindle assembly is balanced to provide 
        minimal mechanical runout to the disks and to reduce vibration 
        of the HDA.  A dynamic brake is used to provide a fast stop to 
        the spindle motor when power is removed, or upon initiation of 
        STANDBY MODE.

5.3  Air Filtration System

        The head-disk assembly is a sealed enclosure with an integral 
        0.3 micron filter which maintains a clean environment for the 
        heads and disks.

5.4  Head Positioning Mechanism

        The two read/write heads are supported by a mechanism coupled 
        to the voice coil actuator.

5.5  Read/Write Heads and Disks

        Data is recorded on one 95 mm diameter disk through two 3370 
        type composite ferrite heads.

5.6  Error Correction

        The CP3000 performs internal error correction.  The error 
        correction polynomial is capable of correcting one error burst 
        with a maximum of 8 bits per 512 byte block.  The following 
        polynomial is used:

        Forward:  P(X) = (X32+X28+X26+X19+X17+X10+X6+X2+1)

5.7  Customer Options

        There are four jumper options available for configuration:  
        HSP, C/D, DSP, and ACT.  

        HSP, when jumpered, connects the -HOST SLV/ACT signal on 
        the interface to ground for systems that require the slave 
        drive to provide -SLAVE PRESENT signal in a two-drive system.  

        C/D is the address jumper.  When jumpered, the master 
        (or C drive), is selected. When open, the slave (or D drive), 
        is selected.  

        DSP, when jumpered, indicates to the master drive that a slave 
        is present.  In a two-drive system, this jumper option must be 
        installed in the master, or C drive.  

        The last jumper, ACT, connects the -ACTIVE signal to the 
        -HOST SLV/ACT signal on the interface.  This signal provides 
        the capability to drive an external LED.  An external current 
        limiting resistor is required. 

        As an alternative, an LED may be connected between J4, pins 1 
        and 2.  This would provide both an open collector drive signal 
        and a current limiting resistor connected to +5V respectively.




Note 1:  In a two drive system, it is possible to drive one LED 
        with both drives.  An external current limiting resistor 
        is required.  
Note 2:  If the drive is connected to a Host that requires that 
        the signal  -DRIVE SLAVE PRESENT be supplied from the slave 
        drive, via the interface signal -HOST SLV/ACT, then this 
        jumper must be installed.  If this jumper is installed, 
        the ACT jumper must not be installed because the two jumpers 
        are mutually exclusive.


6.0     Electrical Interface

6.1  Power Connectors

        The CP3000 has a 4-pin DC power connector (J3) mounted on the 
        PCB. The recommended mating connector is AMP part number 1-480424-0 
        utilizing AMP pins (part number 350078-4 or equivalent).  
        DC power may also be supplied to the drive through a 3 pin 
        connector (J5). The recommended mating connector is Molex part 
        number 39-01-0033 utilizing Molex pins (part number 39-00-0031 
        or equivalent).  
        Power is to be supplied at either J3 or J5, but not both.


6.3  Task File Interface Connector

        The CP3000 has a 40-pin Task File Interface connector (J2) 
        mounted on the printed circuit board.  The recommended mating 
        connector is Molex part number 10-91-2401 or equivalent.     
        Two drives may be daisy chained together at this connector. 
        Maximum cable length is two feet.  

6.4  Diagnostic Routines

        The microprocessor performs diagnostics upon application of 
        power. If an error is detected, the CP3000 will not come ready.

7.0 Recommended Mounting Configuration

        The CP3000 drive is designed to be used in applications where 
        the unit may experience shock and vibrations at greater levels 
        than larger and heavier disk drives.

7.1  Shock Tolerance Features

        The design features which allow greater shock tolerance are 
        the use of rugged heads and media, a dedicated landing zone, 
        closed loop servo positioning, and specially designed motor 
        and actuator assemblies.    

7.2  Mechanically Isolated Mounting Points

        Ten base mounting points are provided to the customer.  
        The drive is mounted using 6-32 screws; 1/8" maximum insertion 
        for the sides, and 1/4" maximum insertion for the bottom.  
        The system integrator should allow ventilation to the drive to 
        ensure reliable drive operation over the operating temperature 
        range.  The drive may be mounted in any attitude.

        For additional vibration isolation, an external suspension 
        system may be used.  

8.0     Electrical Description

8.1  Signal Levels

        All signal levels are TTL compatible.  A logic "1" is greater 
        than 2.0 volts.  A logic "0" is from 0.00 volts to .70 volts.  

8.2  Signal Conventions

        The interface between the drive adapter and the drive is called 
        the Host Interface. The set of registers in the I/O space of the 
        Host is known as the Task File.

        All signals on the Host Interface shall have the prefix HOST.  
        All negatively active signals shall be further prefixed with 
        a "-" designation.  All positive active signals shall be prefixed  
        with a "+" designation.  Signals whose source are the Host, are 
        said to be "outbound" and those whose source is the drive, are 
        said to be "inbound".

8.3  Pin Descriptions

        The following table describes all of the pins on the Task File 
        Interface:
