Cactus Technologies, Limited 5.1. ATA Task File Definitions The following sections describes the usage of the ATA task file registers. Note that the Alternate Status Register of legacy ATA is not defined for SATA drives. 5.1.1. Data Register The Data Register is a 16-bit register, and it is used to transfer data blocks between the SSD data buffer and the Host. 5.1.2.
Cactus Technologies, Limited 5.1.6. Cylinder Low (LBA 15-8) Register This register contains the low order 8 bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 15-8 of the Logical Block Address. 5.1.7. Cylinder High (LBA 23-16) Register This register contains the high order bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 23-16 of the Logical Block Address. 5.1.8. Drive/Head (LBA 27-24) Register The Drive/Head register is used to select the drive and head.
Cactus Technologies, Limited Bit 7 (BUSY) Bit 6 (RDY) Bit 5 (DWF) Bit 4 (DSC) Bit 3 (DRQ) Bit 2 (CORR) Bit 1 (IDX) Bit 0 (ERR) The busy bit is set when the device has access to the command buffer and registers and the host is locked out from accessing the command register and buffer. No other bits in this register are valid when this bit is set to a 1. RDY indicates whether the device is capable of performing operations requested by the host.
Cactus Technologies, Limited Bit Bit Bit Bit Bit Bit Bit 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Conflicts may occur on the host data bus when this bit is provided by a Floppy Disk Controller operating at the same addresses as the SSD. Following are some possible solutions to this problem: 1. Locate the SSD at a non-conflicting address (i.e., Secondary address (377) when a Floppy Disk Controller is located at the Primary addresses). 2. Do not install a Floppy and a SSD in the system at the same time. 3.
