4. IDENTIFY DEVICE

“IDENTIFY DEVICE” provides further testing of the EIDE interface in

that it causes the first transfer of data across the channel, although in one

direction only (data in). Several of the identify words provide

configuration information to allow the test driver to properly construct a

command packet.

5. SEEK.

“SEEK” is issued three times. It first seeks block 0, then the last block, and

then block 0 again.
