drive operating at nominal DC input voltage and nominal 
operating temperature. The timing also assumes that:
        -  Bios and PC system hardware dependency have 
           been subtracted from timing measurements.
        -  The drive is operated using it's native drive 
           paramenters.
        - The controller overhead, measured through the 
          interface, is the time it takes to start a seek 
          after the drive has been selected.

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.

5.0  Functional Description

The drive contains all necessary mechanical and electronic parts 
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 head selection, read pre-amplification, and write drive 
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 the heads are automatically retracted to the 
inner diameter of the disk and 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 
3833 RPM.  The motor/spindle assembly is dynamically  
balanced to provide minimal mechanical runout to the disks.     
A dynamic brake is used to provide a fast stop to the spindle 
motor and return the heads to the landing zone when power      
is removed.

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 read/write heads are supported by a mechanism coupled to 
a rotary voice coil actuator.

5.5     Read/Write Heads and Disks

Data is recorded on 95mm diameter disks through 3370 type heads.

5.6  Error Correction 

The drive uses a Reed-Solomon code to perform error detection 
and correction.  The software error correction polynomial is 
capable of correcting one error burst with a maximum of 22 bits 
or 2 error bursts of up to 11 bits each, per 512 byte block.  
Single bursts of 11 bits or less are corrected on the fly (EOF) 
with no performance degradation.

5.7  Master/Slave Configuration

The drive is designed to operate either as a Master Drive 
(C Drive) or a Slave Drive (D Drive).  This feature is 
dependent on two drive settings; the status of hardware 
Jumper M/S and the firmware setting of a feature bit.  
When (M/S) is closed the drive will assume the role of a 
Master Drive.  When (M/S) is open the drive will act as 
the Slave.  In single drive configurations M/S must remain 
in the closed position. The feature word bit 8 determines 
if the drive will act according to ATA/CAM or ISA/Conner 
protocol during master/slave detection.

When two drives are daisy chained on the interface, 
commands are written in parallel to both drives, only the 
selected drive will execute the command, except for the 
diagnostic command.  In that case, both drives execute the 
command and the slave reports its status to the master via 
the -HOST-PDIAG signal.

Drives are selected by the DRV bit in the drive/head 
Register and by a jumper, on the drive designating it as 
either a master or slave.  When the DRV bit is reset, 
the master drive is selected, and when the DRV bit is set, 
the slave drive is selected. When drives are daisy chained, 
one must be jumpered as the master and one as the slave.  
When a single drive is attached to the interface, it must 
be jumpered as the master. Throughout this document, drive 
selection always refers to the state of the DRV bit, and 
position of the master/slave jumper.

6.0  Electrical Description

6.1  Power Connectors

The drive has two power connectors; a standard 4 pin DC 
power connector and a smaller 3 pin connector.  Power must 
only be supplied at one source.

The mating connector for the 4 pin connector is 
AMP 1-480424-0 (Housing) and AMP 60619-4 (loose piece) 
or 61117-4 (strip) contacts.

The following table describes the 4 pin power connector pins:

        Pin     Signal
        2       GND

The mating connector for the three pin connector is 
Molex series 54-84 Header, housing Molex part number 
39-01-0033 and terminal part number 39-00-0031 (loose) 
or 39-00-0023 (strip).

The following table describes the 3 pin power connector pins.

7.0  Host Interface

7.1  Description

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 controlled through the Host 
Interface is known as the Task File.  The physical 
interface from the drive to the host is implemented using 
a 40 pin connector.  The pin descriptions follow.

7.2  Interface Connector

The recommended mating connector is Molex P/N 15-47-3401 
or equivalent. Two drives may be daisy chained on this 
connector, and the maximum cable length is 18 inches.

7.3  Signal Levels

All signal levels are TTL compatible. A logic "1" is 
> 2.0 Volts. A logic "0" is from 0.00 Volts to .70 Volts.  
The drive capability of each of the inbound signals is 
described below.

7.4  Signal Conventions

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".

These are the standard pin designators for the ISA/Conner 
architecture.

                                        lower 8 bits, HD0- HD7, are used for 
                                        register & ECC access. All 16 bits 
                                        are used for data transfers. These 
                                        are tri-state lines with 24 mA drive

                                        the host activates the -IEN  bit in 
                                        the Digital Output register.  
                                        When the -IEN bit is inactive, or the 
                                        drive is not selected, this output in

                                        the state of the IRQ bit. The 
                                        interrupt is set when the IRQ bit is 
                                        set  by the drive CPU. IRQ is reset to

                                        will be activated by the slave 
                                        within 1 ms. If the master doesn't 
                                        see -PDIAG active after 4 ms it 
                                        will assume no slave is present.  
                                        The slave will not de-activate 
                                        -PDIAG until it is ready to go not 
                                        busy or 400  ms. The master will 
                                        only wait 450 milliseconds or until 
                                        the slave de-activates -PDIAG before 
                                        it goes not busy. The slave will 
                                        only wait 450 milliseconds before it 
                                        activates -PDIAG and goes not busy.  
                                        The slave will not set ready or seek 
                                        complete until those states are 
                                        achieved.

                                        After reset, -PDIAG will be used for 
                                        the diagnostic command in the 
                                        following manner.  It is output by 
                                        the drive if it is the slave drive, 
                                        input to the drive if it is the 
                                        master drive. This low true signal 
                                        indicates to a master that the slave 
                                        has passed its internal diagnostic 
                                        command. This line is only inactive 
                                        high during execution of the 
                                        diagnostic command. 

-HOST PDIAG     I       34              CAM - DASP- (Drive Active/Drive 1 
                                        Present) This is a time-multiplexed 
                                        signal which indicates that a drive 
                                        is active, or that Drive 1 is present.
                                        This signal shall be an open collector
                                        output and each drive shall have a 
                                        10K ohm pull-up resistor.

                                        During power on initialization or 
                                        after RESET- is negated, DASP- shall 
                                        be asserted by Drive 1 within 400 ms 
                                        to indicate that Drive 1 is present.

                                        Drive 0 shall allow up to 450 ms for 
                                        Drive 1 to assert DASP-. If Drive 1 
                                        is not present, Drive 0 may assert 
                                        DASP- to drive an activity LED.

                                        DASP- shall be negated following 
                                        acceptance of the first valid command 
                                        by Drive 1 or after 31 seconds, 
                                        whichever comes first.

                                        Any time after negation of DASP-, 
                                        either drive may assert DASP- to 
                                        indicate that a drive is active.
