ATAPI Interface

STT8000A Product Manual
Issuing PIO and DMA transfer modes does not actually select these operations;
however, issuing these modes selects the rate of either type of transfer, as selected
by the DMA bit (bit 0) of the ATAPI Features register.
ATAPI Identify Device (A1h)
The protocol and timing of this command conforms to a standard ATA type
command as defined in ATA-2.
Note: This command is similar to the ATA Identify Device command except it uses
a different op-code. The ATA Identify Device command is aborted.
This command is generally intended to be used by a low-level ATAPI driver to
determine the number and type of ATA/ATAPI devices attached to the interface.
This driver might be able to program transfer rates and other parameters in the host
ATA (IDE) interface.
The following table defines the values returned by the drive.
