Write DMA Command (CAh/CBh) The Write DMA command transfers one or more sectors of data from the host to the device. The data is then written to the disk media. The sectors of data are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command. 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 the data transfer has terminated and the status is available. If an uncorrectable error occurs, the write will be terminated at the failing sector. Output parameters to the device Sector Count The number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If 0 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 contains LBA bits 0 - 7. (L=1) Cylinder High/Low The cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L=0) In LBA mode this register contains LBA bits 8 - 15 (Low), 16 - 23 (High).
