Sector Number The sector number of the sector to be transferred. ( L = 0 )
In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 0 - 7. ( L = 1 )
Cylinder High/Low The cylinder number of the sector to be transferred. ( L = 0 )
In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 8 - 15 (Low), 16 - 23 (High).
( L = 1 )
H The head number of the sector to be transferred. ( L = 0 )
In LBA mode, this register contains current LBA bits 24 - 27. ( L = 1 )
The file internally uses 28 bytes of ECC on all data read or writes. The 4 byte mode of operation is pro-
vided via an emulation technique. As a consequence of this emulation it is recommended that 28 byte ECC
mode is used for all tests to confirm the operation of the files ECC hardware. Unexpected results may occur
if such testing is performed using 4 byte mode.
