The choice of DMA or non-DMA operations is made by the ND bit. When this bit is “1”, the non-DMA mode is
selected, and when ND is “0”, the DMA mode is selected. In DMA mode, data transfers are signaled by the FDRQ
pin. Non-DMA mode uses the RQM bit and the FINT pin to signal data transfers.
Configure
The Configure command is issued to select the special features of the FDC. A Configure command need not be
issued if the default values of the FDC meet the system requirements.
Configure Default Values:
EIS - No Implied Seeks
EFIFO - FIFO Disabled
POLL - Polling Enabled
FIFOTHR - FIFO Threshold Set to 1 Byte
PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Set to Track 0
EIS - Enable Implied Seek. When set to “1”, the FDC will perform a Seek operation before executing a read or write
command. Defaults to no implied seek.
EFIFO - A “1” disables the FIFO (default). This means data transfers are asked for on a byte-by-byte basis. Defaults
to “1”, FIFO disabled. The threshold defaults to “1”.
POLL - Disable polling of the drives. Defaults to “0”, polling enabled. When enabled, a single interrupt is generated
after a reset. No polling is performed while the drive head is loaded and the head unload delay has not expired.
FIFOTHR - The FIFO threshold in the execution phase of read or write commands. This is programmable from 1 to
16 bytes. Defaults to one byte. A “00” selects one byte; “0F” selects 16 bytes.
PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Start Track Number. Programmable from track 0 to 255. Defaults to track 0. A “00”
selects track 0; “FF” selects track 255.
Version
The Version command checks to see if the controller is an enhanced type or the older type (765A). A value of 90 H is
returned as the result byte.
Relative Seek
The command is coded the same as for Seek, except for the MSB of the first byte and the DIR bit.
