Read DMA Command (C8h/C9h) The Read DMA command reads one or more sectors of data from disk media, then transfers the data from the device to the host. The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command. The data transfers are qualified by DMARQ and are performed by the slave-DMA channel. The device issues only one interrupt per command to indicate that data transfer has terminated and status is available. If an uncorrectable error occurs, the read will be terminated at the failing sector. Output Parameters To The Device Sector Count The number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified, then 256 sectors will be transferred. Sector Number The sector number of the first sector to be transferred. ( L = 0 ) In LBA mode, this register specifies LBA address bits 0 - 7 to be transferred. ( L = 1 ) Cylinder High/Low The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. ( L = 0 ) In LBA mode, this register specifies LBA address bits 8 - 15 (Low) 16 - 23 (High) to be transferred. ( L = 1 ) Command Descriptions 115
