Glossary

Actuator - An electro-mechanical apparatus which is used to move one or more
read/write heads attached to a common boom.
ATA (AT Attachment) - ATA defines the physical, electrical, transport, and
command protocols for the internal attachment of block storage devices to hosts.
ATA-1 device - A device which complies with X3.221-1994, the AT Attachment
Interface for Disk Drives.
ATA-2 device - A device which complies with X3T10.279-199x, the AT
Attachment Interface with Extensions.
AWG - American Wire Gauge.
Command acceptance - A command is considered accepted whenever the host
writes to the Command Register and the device currently selected has its BSY
bit equal to zero. An exception exists for the EXECUTE DIAGNOSTIC
command.
CHS (Cylinder-Head-Sector) - This term defines the addressing of the device
by cylinder number, head number and sector number.
Cylinder, physical - An ordered grouping of tracks which can be accessed
without moving the actuator.
Cylinder, logical - A mapping of sectors on the disk drive into an imaginary
cylinder for purposes of achieving compatibility with legacy addressing
schemes..
Device - A device is a storage peripheral. Traditionally, a device on the ATA
interface has been a hard disk drive, but any form of storage device may be
placed on the ATA interface provided it adheres to this standard.
Device selection - A device is selected when the DEV bit of the Drive/Head
register is equal to the device number assigned to the device by means of a
Device 0/Device 1 jumper or switch, or use of the CSEL signal.
DMA (Direct memory access) - A means of data transfer between device and
host memory without host processor intervention.
Head, physical - A transducer which translates the fluctuations in the
magnetic orientation of the recording layer of the disk into electrical signals
that can be decoded into bits of data.
Head, logical - A mapping of sectors on the disk drive into an imaginary
surface of a disk for purposes of achieving compatibility with legacy addressing
schemes.
