13.20 Read Sectors (20h/21h)
Table 91: Read Sectors (20h/21h)
The Read Sectors command reads one or more sectors of data from disk media and then transfers the data from the
device to the host.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time. If an uncorrectable error occurs the read will
be terminated at the failing sector.
Output parameters to the device
Sector Count This indicates the number of continuous sectors to be transferred. If zero is specified, then
256sectors will be transferred.
LBA Low This is the sector number of the first sector to be transferred. (L =0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
LBA High/Low This is the cylinder number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits 16–23(High).(L = 1)
H This is the head number of the first sector to be transferred. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)
R This is the retry bit; this bit is ignored.
Input parameters from the device
Sector Count This is the number of requested sectors not transferred. This will be zero, unless an unre-
coverable error occurs.
LBA Low This is the sector number of the last transferred sector. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 0–7. (L = 1)
LBA High/Low This is the cylinder number of the last transferred sector. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 8–15 (Low) and bits 16–23
(High).(L = 1)
H This is the head number of the last transferred sector. (L = 0)
In LBA mode this register contains the current LBA bits 24–27. (L = 1)
