Notes:
1. The Data register for read or write operation can be accessed by 16 bit data
bus (DATA0 to DATA15).
2. The registers for read or write operation other than the Data registers can be
accessed by 8 bit data bus (DATA0 to DATA7).
3. When reading the Drive Address register, bit 7 is high-impedance state.
4. H indicates signal level High and L indicates signal level Low.
5. The LBA mode is specified, the Device/Head, Cylinder High, Cylinder
Low, and Sector Number registers indicate LBA bits 27 to 24, 23 to 16, 15
to 8, and 7 to 0.
