Description

The IBM

5-1/4"

Diskette Drive Adapter fits into one of the

expansion slots in the system unit.

connected to one or two

diskette drives through an internal, daisy-chained flat cable. The

adapter has a connector

the other end that extends through the

rear panel of the system unit. This connector has signals for two

additional external diskette drives; thus, the

5-1/4

inch diskette

drive adapter can attach four

5-1/4

inch drives -two internal

and two external.

The adapter

designed for double-density, MFM-coded, diskette

drives and uses write precompensation with an analog phase-lock

loop for clock and

data

recovery. The adapter

general-purpose device using the

NEe

fLPD765

or equivalent

controller. Therefore, the diskette drive parameters are

programmable. In addition, the attachment supports the diskette

drive's write-protect feature. The adapter

buffered

the

I/O

bus and uses the system board's direct memory access (DMA) for

record data transfers.

interrupt level also

used to indicate

when an operation

complete and that a status condition requires

microprocessor attention.

In general, the

5-1/4

inch diskette drive adapter presents a

high-level command interface to software

I/O

drivers.

Programming Considerations

This attachment consists of an 8-bit digital output register in

parallel with a

NEC

JLPD765

or equivalent floppy disk controller

(FDC).

In the following description, drive numbers 0,

2, and 3 are

equivalent to drives A, B, C, and D.

Digital-Output Register

The Digital-Output register (DOR)

output-only register used

to control drive motors, drive selection, and feature enable. All

bits are cleared

the

0 interface 'reset' line. The bits have the

following functions:

Bits 0 and 1 These bits are decoded

unit's microprocessor. Because

this multi-byte interchange of

information between the

FDC

and the system unit's

microprocessor, it

convenient to consider each command as

consisting of three phases:

Command Phase

The

FDC

receives all information required to perform a particular

operation from the system unit's microprocessor,

Execution Phase

The

FDC

performs the operation it was instructed to do.

Result Phase

After completion of the operation, status and other housekeeping

information are made available to the system unit's

microprocessor,

summary. The command summary immediately follows these
