Master/Slave Configuration
--------------------------
When two drives are daisy-chained on the host interface, one must be
designated at the master drive (C: drive) and one as the slave drive
(D: drive). Commands from the host are written in parallel to both
drives.

When the C/D jumper on the drive is closed, the drive will assume the
role of a master. When C/D is open, the drive will act as a slave. In
single-drive configurations, C/D must remain in the closed (master)
position.

For each command sent from the host, the DRV bit in the drive/head
register selects the master or the slave drive. When the DRV bit is
reset (0), the master drive is selected, and when the DRV bit is set
(1), the slave drive is selected.

Once the drives receive the command, only the drive with jumper C/D
set to the appropriate position will execute the command. For
example, if the DRV bit is set, only the slave drive (jumper C/D
open) will execute the command.

NOTE
If the command is a diagnostic command, both drives will execute the
command and the slave will report its status to the master via the
Host PDIAG signal.

Throughout this manual, drive selection always refers to the state of
the DRV bit and the position of the C/D jumper.

The drive supports two master/slave modes via the A/C jumper. When
A/C is open, ATA/CAM master/slave mode is selected. When A/C is
closed, Conner master/slave mode is selected.

Supported Master/Slave Modes
----------------------------
There are three different master/slave methods that Conner supports.

- ISA Original
- Conner
- ATA/CAM

Of these three methods, the drive supports all except ISA/Original
mode, with which is compatible.

NOTE
The ATA/CAM master/slave method is not compatible with the other two
methods. The Conner mode is backward-compatible to the ISA Original
mode, but is not compatible with the other.

These three methods are explained in the following sections. For
signals followed by a ' ', activate means go low and deactivate means
go high.

ISA Original Master/Slave
-------------------------
The signals used for master/slave operation and determination are
Host DASP and Host PDIAG .

Host DASP can be used to:

- drive an activity LED
- indicate that the slave drive is present to the master

The Host PDIAG is used to indicate that the slave has passed
diagnostics both at power-on reset (POR) and when the diagnostic
command is issued.

At power-on time, the slave drive activates Host PDIAG and Host
DASP . Host PDIAG remains activated from POR until a diagnostic
command is issued by the host. Once a diagnostic is issued by the
host, the slave deactivates Host PDIAG until either:

- the slave successfully completes the diagnostic command

- the host issues a reset

There are no real timing constraints on Host PDIAG and Host DASP .
At POR, they are both activated within a second or two. When the
diagnostic command is issued by the host, the slave inactivates Host
PDIAG within 100-200 microseconds and is required to reactivate it
within 5 seconds (the only timing constraint) if it successfully
completes the command.

This scheme works fairly well except for two problems:

 - There is no way to tell when the slave becomes ready. If the slave
   becomes ready much later than the master, the slave will miss any
   command that are issued before it goes not busy because the host
   only polls the master to see if the "controller" is ready.

 - In a two-drive configuration, the Host DASP  line is not available
   to drive a drive activity indicator.

In this mode of master/slave, master/slave re-configures with either
a hardware or software reset. A hardware reset is either a POR or
host reset.

This version of master/slave is present on generations 1, 2, and 3
of Conner drives.

Conner Master/Slave
-------------------
To remendy the problem of the host not knowing when the slave was
ready, Conner developed a backward-compatible solution, which we call
Conner Master/Slave.

In Conner Master/Slave, the use of the Host PDIAG signal has been
changed slightly during reset so that the slave will indicate when it
will go not busy. Its use in the diagnostic command has not been
changed.

During POR or any host reset, the slave drive activates Host PDIAG
within 1ms. The master drive waits slightly longer that 1 ms for
Host PDIAG to be activated before it determines that no slave is
present. The slave then deactivates Host PDIAG when it is ready. The
master waits:

 - up to 14 seconds for the slave to deactivate Host PDIAG on either
   a POR or a host reset

 - 450 ms for the slave to deactivate Host PDIAG  on a host software
   reset

If the master times out, it goes not busy.

In this mode of master/slave, master/slave re-configures with either
a hardware or software reset. A hardware reset is either a Power On
Reset (POR) or host bus reset.

This solution was implemented in generations 4 and greater of Conner
drives.

ATA/CAM Master/Slave
--------------------
This industry-standard master/slave solution was developed by the CAM
shortly after the development of the Conner Master/Slave. The
polarity of Host PDIAG is opposite that of the Conner solution and
this is what makes this master/slave scheme incompatible with the
Conner scheme.

At power-on time, the slave deactivates Host PDIAG and then
activates Host DASP within 1 ms of either POR or host reset. Host
DASP activate indicates that a slave is present. The slave
activates Host PDIAG when it is ready to accept commands or after 30
seconds, whichever occurs first. This period is reduced to 450ms for
a software reset. A hardware reset is either a POR or host bus reset.

This solution was implemented in generations 4.5 and greater of
Conner drives and is selectable with the A/C jumper or the CAM bit in
the feature word.
