Other
DATA RATE SELECT REGISTER (DSR)
applications can set the data rate in the DSR.
The data rate of the floppy controller is the most
recent write of either the DSR or CCR. The DSR
is unaffected by a software reset. A hardware
reset will set the DSR to 02H, which
corresponds to the default precompensation
setting and 250 Kbps.
Address 3F4 WRITE ONLY
This register is write only. It is used to program
the data rate, amount of write precompensation,
power down status, and software reset. The

corresponding to the individual data rates. The
data rate select bits are unaffected by a
software reset, and are set to 250 Kbps after a
hardware reset.
BIT 6 LOW POWER
A logic "1" written to this bit will put the floppy
controller into manual low power mode. The
floppy controller clock and data separator
circuits will be turned off. The controller will
come out of manual low power mode after a
software reset or access to the Data Register or
Main Status Register.

PRECOMPENSATION
SELECT
These three bits select the value of write
precompensation that will be applied to the
WDATA output signal. Table 11 shows the
precompensation values for the combination of
these bits settings. Track 0 is the default
starting track number to start precompensation.
This starting track number can be changed by
the configure command.
BIT 7 SOFTWARE RESET
This active high bit has the same function as the
DOR RESET (DOR bit 2) except that this bit is
self clearing.
