ATAPI Interface

Introduction

The STT8000 ATAPI minicartridge drive provides an ATA Packet Interface
(ATAPI) controller for communications between the host computer and the
drive. The drive supports the QIC-157 standard interface.

The STT8000 ATAPI minicartridge drive provides a connection between the
driver/card and the component of the PC. Refer to chapter 3 for specific cabling
and connector information.

Note:

Refer to the QIC-157 Standard for detailed information about the

this interface.

This chapter clarifies the use of several ATA-2 signals and ATAPI commands
that are either vague or optional in the QIC-157 specification.

ATA-2 Interface

The information about the ATA-2 interface is presented in the following topics:
ATA-2 Signals, ATA Registers, and ATA Commands.

ATA-2 Signals

Only the DASP and PDIAG–signals are described in the following paragraphs.

DASP–

This signal is used during power-up handshake sequences for master/slave
identification per ATA-2 specifications.

Because the device has its own front-panel activity LED, this signal is not
driven by this device (to indicate activity) after power-up is complete.

PDIAG–

This signal is used during power-up handshake sequences for master/slave
identification per ATA-2 specifications.
