11.6 Address Decoding
The host addresses the drive using programmed I/O. In this method, the required register address should
be placed on the three host address lines, DA2 - DA0. An appropriate chip is selected and a read or write
strode (-DIOR / -DIOW) shall be given to the chip.
The following I/O map shows definitions of all the register addresses and functions for these I/O locations.
The descriptions of each register are shown in the next paragraph.

“X” means “don't care”.
The host generates selection of two independent chips on the interface. The selected high order
chip ,-HOST CS1, is valid only when the host is accessing the address of alternate status register, digital
output register , and digital input register respectively. The low order chip, HOST CS0, is used to address all
other registers.
The following table shows the standard decode logic to connect with ISA (Industry Standard Architecture)
bus .

The host data buses 15-8 are valid only when - IOCS16 is active.
• - IOCS16 is asserted when interface address lines match to data register address.

ATA-2 Notes: This register is obsolete. A device is not supposed to respond to a read of this address. If a device does
respond, it shall be sure not to drive the DD7 signal to prevent possible conflict with floppy disk implementations.
The drive supports this register to maintain compatibility for ATA-1.
