Read DMA Command–C8H, C9H
The Read DMA command in Table 5-17 executes in a similar manner to the READ
SECTOR(S) command except for the following:
The host initializes the DMA channel prior to issuing the command.
Data transfers are qualified by DMARQ and are performed by the DMA channel.
The device issues only one interrupt per command to indicate that data transfer has termi-
nated and status is available.
During the DMA transfer phase of a Read DMA command, the device provides status of the
BSY bit or the DRQ bit until the command is completed.
