3.2.2.1
PIO and DMA Data-Transfer Modes
You can set the multiword DMA mode and identify the PIO data-transfer
mechanism and transfer mode with the Set Features command. To set
the multiword DMA mode:
1.
1. Write Set Features command value 03
H
(Set Data Transfer mode) to
the Features register.
2. Write a transfer types value to the Sector Count register. The upper 5
bits of this value define the type of data transfer, and the lower 3 bits
encode the mode value.
This changes word 63 of the Identify Drive command to the mode you
enter in the Sector Count register.
The following table identifies allowable transfer types values:
