9.1.8 Addressing of registers The host addresses the drive through a set of registers called the Task File. These registers are mapped into the I/O space. Two chip select lines (CS0- and CS1-) and three address lines (DA0-02) are used to select one of these registers, while a DIOR- or DIOW- is provided at the specified time. The CS0- is used to address Command Block registers while the CS1- is used to address the Control Block registers. The following table shows the I/O address map. CS0- CS1- 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 DA2 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 DA1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 DA0 DIOR- = 0 (Read) DIOW- = 0 (Write) Command Block Registers 0 Data Reg. Data Reg. 1 Error Reg.

During DMA operation (from writing to the command register until an interrupt) all registers are not accessible. For example, the host is not supposed to read the status register contents before interrupt -the value is invalid. Figure 35. I/O address map 9.1.9 Cabling The maximum cable length from the host system to the drive plus circuit pattern length in the host system must not exceed 18 inches. For data transfers greater than 8.3 MB/s it is recommended that designs measures are used to reduce cable noise and cross-talk. Examples of design modification include use of shorter cable, bus termination, and the use of shielded cable. The 80-conductor ATA cable assembly (P/N SFF-8049) must be used for systems operating at Ultra DMA modes 3, 4 and 5. Deskstar 60 GXP Hard disk drive specification 40
