2.0 Description

The WDl007A-WA2 and the WDl007A-WAH are single board Winchester Disk

Controllers designed to interface two ESDI compatible disk drives to the IBM PC/AT or

compatible host computer. The WDl007A-WA2 supports two 5.25 or 3.5 inch floppy

disk drives; the WDl007A-WAH is a hard disk only version of the controller.

The ESDI drives used with this controller generally have two modes of operation, soft

sector and hard sector. At this time the WDl007A-WA2 offers only the hard sector mode

of operation.

In most systems the BIOS and/or operating system supports only the older MFM/ST-506

drives which use 17 sectors per track. The ESDI disk drive typically has 34 sectors per

track when operating in the hard sector mode. To integrate the hard disk drive into the

AT environment, select a drive parameters table that reflects the physical characteristics

of the drive, i.e., the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors per track.

The WDl007A-WAH/WA2 controller has an optional BIOS ROM that provides drive

parameter tables, low-level formatting routines, and surface analysis routines. While

low-level formatting of the drive can be accomplished by several means, Western

Digital recommends that you use the low-level formatting routine present in the

WDl007A BIOS. If your controller does not have the BIOS option, obtain Western

Digital's WDFMT 2.10 formatting utility.

3.0 Hardware Installation Instructions

This section briefly describes installation of the WDl007A-WA2. If you wish to install

the disk drive internally, it is best to locate the controller in the closest available

expansion slot relative to the drive. The WDl007A controller can be installed in any 16-

bit slot in the IBM PC-AT or compatible host computer. Connecting cables for the ESDI

hard disk are the same as those used on ST506 type drives. Device ID jumpers are

implemented on the ESDI device just as with an ST506 drive. Verify that the drive is

configured to support the hard sector mode.

CAUTION

Handle the controller board by the ends of the board. Some of the chips are static

sensitive and damage may occur if the board is incorrectly handled.

1. Verify the controller jumper settings. Modification of the standard factor settings on

the controller is rarely necessary. Modify the jumpers only under the direction of a

qualified individual; i.e., your dealer. Figure 1 illustrates the jumper locations. Table 1

lists the jumper default settings for the WDl007A-WA2 and the WDl007A-WAH.

Table 2 provides the various address select ranges and corresponding jumper settings.

The WDlOO7A-WAH can be used as a field replacement board for existing

WD1005WAH boards without reformatting the hard disk drive. The WDl005WAH

firmware does not recognize the Set Unformatted Bytes per Sector command, so you

must set jumper/switches on the drive to the desired sectors per track. Substituting the

WD1007A-WAH board and installing a jumper at W8 precludes the use of the Set

Unformatted Bytes/Sector command. When in the WDl007A-WA2 mode (no jumper on

W8), the ESDI drive is forced to 35 sectors per track by the Set Unformatted Bytes per

Sector command. The interleave ratio is 1:1.

2. Remove or disable any other floppy controller in your system if you are installing the

WDl007A-WA2.

3. Verify termination of the last hard disk drive. Verify proper setting of drive select

switches on the drive, if necessary. Do NOT use the drive's radial select option. Refer to

the drive owner's manual for information about proper drive termination and select

switches.

4. Remove the blank expansion slot bracket. Put the bracket away and save it for

possible future use. The bracket screw will be used to hold the controller board in place.

5. Connect the 34-pin control cable to Jl connector. Keyed connectors prevent reversal

of the cables.

6. Connect the control cable to the hard disk drive(s).

7. Attach a 20-pin data cable to J2 connector (for Drive 0).

8. Attach a 20-pin data cable to J3 connector (for Drive 1).

9. Connect the cable(s) to the proper hard disk drive(s).

10. Attach the 34-pin daisy-chain cable to J4 connector.

11. Connect the cable to the floppy drive(s).

12. Attach Winchester activity LED connector to J5.

13. Install the controller board into the expansion slot. Ensure that the board is seated

properly by pressing down on both ends of the board. Secure the board with the bracket

screw.

Address Select Jumpers

Table 2, Address Select Jumpers, lists the various jumper configurations for address

selections for both the hard drive and the floppy drive. Jumper connections Wl-W2

select the BIOS ROM/RAM memory addresses. The default address range (C8000-

C9FFF) is factory set. Jumper connection W3 enables the ROM/RAM BIOS when it is

jumpered.

Jumper connection W6 selects the floppy drive's address ranges. The default range is

3FX.

The module's primary hard disk address range is (1F0-lF7 and 3F6-3F7). To select the

secondary hard disk address range (170-177 and 376-377), jumper the Wl2 connector.

Diagnostic Register Latch Control

When installed, jumper connection Wl0 enables the diagnostic Digital Input Register for

operation in the latched mode; i.e., the register outputs latch when the register is

accessed. The jumper is normally not used.

WD1018 Mode Control

Jumper connections W8, W14, Wl5 provide three external mode selects to the control

processor.

W8 Jumper Connection

W8 (No Jumper) - This is the normal WDl007A-WAH/WA2 mode. The firmware forces

a 10 Mhz ESDI drive to 35 sectors per track when using the Set Unformatted Bytes per

Sector command. It is not necessary to set the drive's jumpers and switches for the

desired number of sectors per track. This mode supports a 1:1 interleave.

W8 (Jumper) - This mode allows the l007A-WAH to be used as a replacement board for

existing WDl005-WAH boards without reformatting the drive. The controller reads the

Unformatted Bytes per Sector from the drive.

Wl4 Jumper Connection

Because some of the older operating systems can only recognize 17 sectors per track or a

maximum of 1048 cylinders per drive, the WDl007A-WA2 provides a translation

scheme so that ESDI hard disk drives can be fully utilized in the PC/AT environment.

W14 (No Jumper) - The translation mode provides two types of physical to logical

translation.

Wl4 (Jumper) - Physical to logical translation by the firmware is disabled.

Wl5 Jumper Connection

The purpose of this jumper is to support either four or seven bytes of syndrome during

Read or Write Long commands. Four bytes of ECC is the default mode. Installing the

jumper provides seven bytes of ECC.

W15 (No Jumper) - 4 Bytes ECC

W15 (Jumper) -7 Bytes ECC

Floppy Drive and Data Rate Selection Control

W5 Jumper Connection

Jumper connection W5 selects either a single speed or a dual speed drive. A jumper is

not normally installed, causing selection to default to a single speed drive and 125

nanoseconds precompensation.

W5 (No Jumper) - Single Speed

W5 (Jumper) - Dual Speed

W7 Jumper Connection

The WDl007A-WA2 supports 5.25 and 3.5 inch floppy disk drives. Install Jumper W7

(1-2).

W4 and W13 Jumper Connections

Jumper connectors W4 and W 13 enable the floppy drive controller.

installed.

Mounting Bracket Jumper

Jumper connection W9 allows grounding of the module mounting bracket to chassis or

logic ground. The jumper is not normally used.

4.0 Software Instructions

In order to use an ESDI drive in a given system, three steps must be followed:

1. Low-level formatting: Use WDFMT, third party software, or the WDl007A BIOS.

2. Active drive partitioning: Use MSDOS* 3.3 (FDISK) or other operating systems that

allow partitioning, such as SCO XENIX*.

3. High-level formatting: Use the operating system's normal "Format C:(or D:)/S"

command.

4.1 Configuring Your Drive

There are two types of BIOS that can play a role in the use of the WD1007A with the

ESDI drive: the system BIOS and the WD1007A BIOS. If the system BIOS is used, the

exact physical drive parameters for the drive must be present in the system BIOS tables.

In terms of maximum flexibility and adaptability with different drives, Western Digital

recommends the use of the WD1007A BIOS.

4.1.1 Using the System BIOS

The system BIOS refers to the BIOS that is controlling the computer, i.e., Phoenix, IBM-

AT, Faraday. If the appropriate drive parameter tables are present, the system BIOS can

be used, along with the operating system (MSDOS, SCO XENIX) to partition and per-

form high level formatting of the drive.

Examine the system parameter tables using one of the following three methods:

1. To determine if a system BIOS has the physical drive parameters required for your

ESDI drive, use the set-up diskette for your system to see if the appropriate number of

heads, cylinders and sectors per track are listed. If they are not listed, the system BIOS

probably does not have the required parameter tables. Use other means, such as

WDFMT or the WD1007A BIOS, to perform a low level format.

2. Another way of examining the system parameter tables to determine if the drive is

listed in the BIOS is to use the DOS Debug Utility.

Although some systems locate drive parameters in other locations, the standard location

in the AT BIOS is F000:E401. The proper command at the DEBUG prompt (-) is as

follows:

df000:e401 <CR>

This corresponds to drive type 1 and will display 8 lines of data from the BIOS ROM.

By entering another " d" at the DEBUG prompt, another eight lines of data will be

displayed, corresponding to drive type 2, etc. This procedure is continued until all drive

parameter information for all drive types is displayed. If your drive's parameters are

encountered in this process, the system BIOS recognizes your particular drive.

Each parameter table has 16 bytes of data. Data from the BIOS ROM is displayed in

hex, least significant byte first. This data breaks down as follows:

Bytes 1 & 2 Number of Cylinders

Byte 3 Number of Heads

Bytes 4 & 5 Not Used

Bytes 6 & 7 Write Precompensation Cylinder

Byte 8 Not Used

Byte 9 Control Byte (= 08H for 8 heads)

Byte 10-12 Not Used

Bytes 13 & 14 Landing Zone 3

Byte 15 Sectors per Track

Byte 16 Not Used

3. There is also a way of using the DOS DEBUG utility to confirm the parameters for

the current drive selected. This is done through the INT 41 (located at d0: 104) and the

INT 46 (located at dO: 118) handlers. INT 41 corresponds to the address of the current

selected parameters for drive 0, and INT 46 corresponds to the address of the current

selected parameters for drive 1.

To see the current selected parameters for drive 0, the proper command at the DEBUG

prompt (-) is:

d0: 104

The first four bytes displayed correspond to the offset (two bytes) and segment 6 (two

bytes) of the location of the selected parameters.

For example, if after entering d0: 104, the result is:

30 IF

00 C8 AB 73.. .<=>Location C800:1F30

[offset] [segment]

then the current selected parameters are located at address C800:1F30. Type

DC800:1F30 at the DEBUG prompt to display the 16 bytes of selected drive parameters.

If, after using the above methods, you verify that the system BIOS does contain the

physical parameter tables for your drives, use WDFMT to low level format the drive,

FDISK (MSDOS 3.3) to partition it, and the "Format C:(D:)/S" command to perform the

high-level format.
