The timing is measured through the
 interface with the drive operating at
 nominal DC input voltages.  The timing is
 based upon the physical parameters of  the
 disk and may be affected by translation.

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.

            6.0  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.

6.1  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 dual 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.

6.2   Drive Mechanism

A brushless DC direct drive motor rotates the
spindle at 4498 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.

6.3  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.

6.4  Head Positioning Mechanism

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

6.5  Read/Write Heads and Disks

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

6.6  Customer Options

C/D
Up to two drives may be daisy chained together
utilizing the 40 pin Task File connector.  The
maximum cable length is 18 inches.  In order to
install more than one drive, it is necessary to
set a jumper option.  The C/D jumper is used to
determine whether the drive is a master (drive C)
or slave (drive D).  The drive is configured as a
master (drive C) when jumpered and as a slave
drive (D drive) when not jumpered.  (Refer to
description of -PDIAG signal for further
information on master/slave in Conner drives.)

DSP & SS
This pair of jumpers determines the signals on pin
39 of the interface connector.

   Jumper                     
  DSP  SS                  Action
            -  spindle synchronization signal

            -  activity LED signal available on
            pin 39.
            -  spindle synchronization signal
        X   enabled on pin 39.
            -  activity LED signal disabled from
            pin 39.
            -  pin 39 floating.
            

Master/slave in CAM compatible mode uses pin 39 in
a time multiplexed manner to indicate that a slave
drive is present.  During power-on-reset or after
RESET is asserted, this line is asserted by the
slave drive within 400 ms to indicate its
presence.  The master drive allows up to 450 msec
for the slave drive to assert -HOST SLV/ACT.  -
HOST SLV/ACT is deasserted by the slave drive
following its acceptance of the first valid
command or after 31 seconds, whichever comes
first.

Jumpers E1, E2, E3

  E1   Jumper in disables spin-up at power-on.
       The drive will automatically spin up when
       it receives a command which accesses the
       drive.
       
  E2   Unused
  E3   Unused
J3 Connector

A drive select LED may be driven using two
alternative pins on this drive.  Pin 39 can be
used to drive the LED if it is not configured for
Spindle Synchronization.  The 16-pin auxiliary
connector (J3), pins 3 and 4 provide an open
collector drive signal and a current limiting
resistor connected to the other end of +5V.

The spindle synchronization signal is
alternatively available on pin 2 of J3.

7.0  Mounting Configuration
                         
The 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 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.

Ten base mounting points are provided to the
customer. The drive is mounted using 6-32 x 1/8"
max. insertion for the sides, and 1/4" 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.

The system integrator should also allow 0.060
inches (1.6mm) of free space and on each side of
the drive for head-disk-assembly (HDA) sway space
if the drive is expected to need operating shock
specifications. If the disk drive is mounted from
sides, the mounting provisions should clear the
baseplate of the HDA.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
8.0  Measuring Drive Specifications

8.1  Seek Times

The timing is measured through the interface with
the drive operating at nominal DC input voltages.
The timing also assumes that the BIOS and PC
system hardware dependency have been subtracted
from timing requirements and that the drive is
operated using its' default translate parameters.

Average seek time is determined by averaging the
seek time for a minimum of 1000 seeks of random
length over the disk surface.

8.2  Start Time (Power Up)

Numbers specified assume that spin recovery is not
invoked.  If spin recovery is invoked, the max
could be 40 seconds.  Briefly removing power can
lead to spin recovery being invoked.

8.3  Shock

Drives are subjected to specified G level shock
for 11 milliseconds at 1/2 sine shock pulse.  The
drive meets specification without suffering non-
recoverable READ or WRITE errors or other damage.

8.4  Vibration

Drives are subjected to specified vibration levels
at 1/2 octave per minute sweep sine.  The drive
meets the specification without non-recoverable
errors READ or WRITE errors or other damage.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       
9.0  Electrical Description

               10.0  Host Interface

10.1  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.

10.2  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.

10.3  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.

10.4  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".

+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-state line with 24 mA drive capacity.

-HOST PDIAG     I    34         Passed diagnostic. At POR -PDIAG 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. -PDIAG   
                                will remain active until the slave is ready 
                                to go not busy or 14.0 seconds on a power on  
                                reset. The master will wait 14.5  seconds or 
                                until the slave deactivates -PDIA on power 
                                on reset before it goes not busy. The slave 
                                will de-activate -PDIAG and go not busy, if
                                it is not ready after the 14.0 seconds.   
                                Neither drive will set ready or seek 
                                complete until they have reached full spin
                                speed and are ready to read/write.

                                During a software reset, -PDIAG 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 deactivates -PDIAG 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.
