- Identify Device Command and Initial Device Parameter
Number of logical cylinder of Identify device command data word 1 posts the value set via this command.
In case of maximum LBA in LBA mode, the Number of logical cylinder of Identify device command data
word 1 is (maximum LBA)/(16 x 63) for DK23CA-30F/30/15,
(maximum LBA)/(15 x 63) for DK23CA-75.
In case of logical head number and SPT changed by Initial Device Parameter command, the Identify
Device Word 54 Number of current cylinders is posted by the following calculation method.
CHS Mode
DK23CA-30F/30/15:
Current Cylinder = (Maximum Logical Cylinder + 1) x 16 x 63 / (Current Head x Current SPT)
DK23CA-75:
Current Cylinder = (Maximum Logical Cylinder + 1) x 15 x 63 / (Current Head x Current SPT)
LBA Mode
Current Cylinder = (Maximum LBA +1)/ (Current Head x Current SPT)
Current Head: Identify Device Word 55 Number of current heads
Current SPT: Identify Device Word 56 Number of current sectors per track
