   * 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 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.

            5.0  Functional Description

The CP3104 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 one
of eight head selections, read preamplification,
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

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 3575 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 eight 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 four 95mm diameter disks
through eight 3370 type heads.

5.6  Error Correction

The CP3104 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:

    ECC:  X56+X52+X50+X43+X41+X34+X30+X26+X8+1

    CRC:  X16+X12+X5+1


5.7  Customer Options

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

-HSP, when jumpered connects a ground to -HOST
SLV/ACT signal (pin 39 of J2) on the interface for
those systems that require the slave drive to
provide -SLAVE PRESENT signal from the slave drive
to a two drive. system.

 -C/D is the address jumper.  When jumpered, the
master or C drive is selected.

-DSP, when jumpered, indicates to the 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 (pin 39 of J2) on the
interface.  This signal provides the capability to
drive an external LED.  An external current
limiting resistor is required. There is another
way to connect the drive LED.  J4, pins 1 and 2,
provide both an open collector drive signal and a
current limiting resistor connected on the other
end to +5V.


        Note 1: In a two drive system, it is possible
                to drive one LED with both drives.  An
                external current limiting resistor is
                required.  The -ACT and HSP signals both
                use pin 39 of J2, -HOST  SLV/ACT.  They 
                are therefore mutually exclusive.

        Note 2: If the model CP3104 is operating as
                a slave drive connected to a Master 
                drive 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 they both use pin 39 of J2.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
6.0  Electrical Interface

6.1  Power Connector

        The CP3104 has a 4 pin DC power connector (J3)
        mounted on the PCB. For the location and pin
        assignments for J3 see figure 1. The recommended
        mating connector is AMP part number 1-480424-0 
        utilizing AMP pins part number 350078-4 or
        equivalent.

6.2  Cabling

        Connect the power cable to J3.  Connect the Task
        File interface cable to J2.

6.3  Diagnostic Routines

        The microprocessor performs diagnostics upon
        application of power. If an error is detected the
        CP3104 will not come ready.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
7.0 Recommended Mounting Configuration

        The CP3104 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.

        The features which allow greater shock tolerance
        are the use of rugged media and shock mounts.  To
        take full advantage of the shock mounts, it is
        necessary to provide a minimum of 0.1 inch
        clearance on both the top and sides of the drive.
        This clearance allows for movement of the drive
        during acceleration.  The drive may be mounted in
        any attitude.

7.1  Mechanically Isolated Mounting Points

        Ten base mounting points are provided to the
        customer.  Each mounting point is mechanically
        isolated from the head/disk assembly.  The drive
        is mounted using 6-32 screws; 1/8" max. insertion
        for the sides, and 1/4" max. insertion for the
        bottom.  The system integrator should allow
        ventilation to the drive to ensure reliable drive
        operation over the operating temperature range.

9.0 Electrical Description
                         
 9.1  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 in section 9.3.

9.2  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".


9.3 Pin Descriptions

        The following describes the pins on the Task 
        File Interface (J1).

Signal Name     Dir     Pin     Description

-HOST RESET     O       01      Reset signal from the
                                Host system which is
                                active low.
GND             O       02      Ground between the drive 
                                and the Host.

-HOST IOW       O         23    Write strobe, the rising edge of
                                which clocks data from the host data bus, 
                                HD0 through HD15, into  a register on 
                                the drive.

GND             O         24    Ground between drive and host.

-HOST IOR       O         25    Read strobe, which when low enables data 
                                from a register on the drive onto the host
                                data bus, HD0-HD15.  The rising edge
                                of -HOST IOR latches data from the drive 
                                at the host.

+HOST IRQ14     I         31    Interrupt to the Host system, enabled only 
                                when the drive is selected, and 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 a high impedance state 
                                regardless of the state of the IRQ bit.  
                                The interrupt is set when the IRQ bit is 
                                set by the drive CPU. IRQ is reset to zero 
                                by a Host read of the Status register or a 
                                write to the command register. This signal 
                                is a tri-state line with 8 ma drive capacity.

-HOST IO16      I         32    Indication to the Host system that the 16 
                                bit data register has been addressed and that 
                                the drive is prepared to send or receive a 16 
                                bit data word. This line is tri-stateline with 
                                24 mA drive capacity.

-HOST PDIAG     I         34    Passed diagnostic. Output by the drive if it 
                                is in the slave mode (-C/D not installed) . 
                                Input to the drive if it is in the master 
                                mode (-C/D installed).  This low true signal 
                                indicates to a master that the slave has 
                                passed its internal diagnostic command.  
                                This line is a tri state line with 24 mA 
                                drive capability.

-HOST CS0       O       37      Chip select decoded from the host address bus.
                                Used to select some of the Host accessible
                                registers.

-HOST CS1       O       38      Chip select decoded from the Host address bus.
                                Used to select three of the registers in 
                                the Task File.

-HOST SLV/ACT   I       39      Signal from the drive used either to drive an 
                                active LED whenever the disk is being
                                accessed or as an indication of a second 
                                drive present. (See the Customer Options 
                                section for further information.) When
                                jumpered as -ACTIVE, this signal is active             
                                low when the drive is busy and has a drive
                                capability of 20 ma. When jumpered as -SLAVE                    
                                PRESENT signal, it is an indication of the
                                presence of a second drive when low.  In this
                                state, it has a drive capability of 10 mA open
                                drain.

GND             O       40      Ground between drive and host.

                                                                    ^Z
