The C/D Jumper is used to determine the drive is a master (drive C)
or a slave (drive D). The drive is configured as a master, when
jumpered, and a slave when not jumpered.

Features

CONNER CFS-635A/850A/1275A PRODUCT MANUAL 20401006-001 REV. A 7/95

Overview of the Drives
----------------------
The Conner Filepro Series CFS635A/CFS850A and CFS1275A are enhanced
IDE, low-profile hard disk drives that are designed to operate with
an IBM PC/AT or equivalent host computer system in translate mode.

The drive provides these features:

- Can be installed in a wide range of host systems

 - Task File emulation and ATA compatibility allows installation
   in a wide range of host systems

 - High performance rotary voice coil actuator with embedded servoing
   eliminate the need for T-cal

- 1/7 Run length limited code

- High shock resistance

- Sealed HDA

- Automatic actuator latch against inner stop upon power-down

 - Microprocessor-controlled diagnostics routines that are auto-
   matically executed at start-up.

- 64 segmentable cache buffer

- Read Look Ahead and selectable Write Caching

- Automatic error correction and retries, ECC on the fly

- supports ATA Standard PIO Mode 4 and DMA Mode 2

- Block size 512 bytes

- supports both CHS and LBA addressing

- Allows daisy-chaining up to two drives on the AT interface

- Auto-Translate (Universal Translate)

- 4-byte ECC diagnostic check in read/write

Firmware
--------
The drive's firmware includes a command set which the host uses to
control the drive. The command set allows the host to request the
following types of actions:

- report drive status

- seek a specific point on the disk

- read and write data

Universal Translate Mode
------------------------
Conner has established a Universal Translate Mode which enables the
user to configure the drive in an AT environment to any cylinder,
head, and sector configuration desired. The translate configuration
is limited only by the maximum capacity of the drive. Upon initial
power up to the drive it will default to a configuration shown below:

          Cylinders        Heads       Sectors
 CFS635A    1238            16           63
 CFS850A    1651            16           63
 CFS1275A   2477            16           63

After the drive is ready, the host system may issue INIT DRIVE PARMS
COMMAND (command code 91hex) to alter the translate configuration
(number of heads and number of sectors per track). The drive will
then:

 - calculate the total number of available logical tracks based upon
   the entered sector and head values

 - save the drive parameters in non-volatile memory for subsequent
   drive operations

Seek Times
----------

       +----------------------------------+--------+
       |         track to track      max. |   3 ms |
       +----------------------------------+--------+
       |               Average msec.      |  14    |
       |               Average msec. max. |  26    |
       +----------------------------------+--------+
       |Latency                msec. avg. |   8.33 |
       +----------------------------------+--------+

       The timing is measured through the interface with the drive
       operating at nominal DC input voltages. The timing also assumes
       that:
             - BIOS and PC system hardware dependency have been
               subtracted from timing measurements.

       The average seek time is determined by averaging the seek time
       for a minimum of 1000 seeks of random length over the surface
       of the disk.

Head Positioning Mechanism
--------------------------
The two read/write heads are supported by a mechanism coupled to a
rotary voice coil actuator.

Task File Interface Signal Connector Pin 28
-------------------------------------------
Pin 28 Cable Select (I/O)
Cable Select is functional when the C/S jumper is inserted, which
routes the C/D select to this pin. When set high, drive D: is
selelcted; when set low, drive C: is selected.

Error Correction
----------------
The drives use a Reed-Solomon code to perform error detection and
correction. For each 512-byte block, the software error correction
polynominal is capable of correcting:

- one error burst up to 22 bits

- two error burst up to 11 bits each

Single bursts of 11 bits or less are corrected on the fly (OTF) with
no performance degradation.

Execute Drive Diagnostic
------------------------
Command Number: 90 hex

Description
This command performs the internal diagnostic tests implemented by
the drive. The diagnostic tests are only executed upon receipt of
this command.

The drive sets BSY immediately upon of the command. If the drive is a
master, the drive performs the diagnostic tests and saves the
results. It then checks to see if a slave drive is present and waits
up to 5 seconds for the slave to complete its diagnostics. If the
slave successfully completes its diagostics, it asserts -HOST PDIAG.
If unsuccessful, the master drive resets BSY in the Status register
and generates an interrupt. The Error bit (ERR) is set in the Status
register and the Error register is updated.

The value in the Error register should be viewed as a unique 8-bit
code and not as the single-bit flags defined previously. The inter-
face registers are set to initial values except for the Error
register.

The table below details the codes in the Error register and a
corresponding explanation.

Error Code Description
01 hex No error detected
02 hex Format device error
03 hex Sector buffer error
8x hex Slave drive failed

Additional codes may be implemented at the manufacturer's option.

NOTE
If the slave drive fails diagnostics, the master drive shall "OR" 80
hex with its own status and load that code into the Error register.
If the slave drive passes diaagnostics or there is no slave drive
connected, the master drive shall sect bit 7 of the Error register
Task File to 0.
