ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Introduction

1.0 Introduction
The ATA/IDE interface has become a de facto industry standard for connection of disk drives in PCs. In the interest of simplicity and cost, the ATA/IDE interface was originally designed to support only a small subset of computer peripherals. The expanding use of multimedia, inexpensive program distribution on CD ROM, and faster and more powerful systems has created the need for enhancements to ATA. This specication is one of those enhancements and provides a simple and inexpensive CD-ROM interface through a superset of ATA.

1.1 Abstract
This document denes a standard method for interfacing to a CD-ROM Drive utilizing the existing ATA host computer hardware and cabling. This specication supplements the denitions of an ATA mass storage peripheral found in the ATA document. The ATAPI and CD-ROM interfaces described in this document are compatible with existing ATA hardware without any changes or additional pins.

1.2 Secretariat
The SFF Committee is an ad hoc group formed to address disk industry needs in a prompt manner. When formed in 1990, the original goals were limited to dening de facto mechanical envelopes for disk drives so they could t into laptop computers and other small products. In November 1992, the SFF Committee objectives were broadened to encompass areas other than mechanical form factors for drives, which needed prompt industry action. SFF Specications are narrow in scope, to reduce development time. The SFF Committee complements the formal standards process. Some industry needs cannot be addressed by standards because of timing, or charter, or some other consideration. This is a gap the Small Form Factor Committee lls. It is anticipated that most Specications will be Forwarded to an accredited standards body such as EIA (Electronic Industries Association) or ASC (Accredited Standards Committee) X3T10. They may be accepted for separate standards, or incorporated into other standards activities. The members decision to forward is based on a wide variety of factors, and a document can be forwarded at any stage in its development cycle. For example, if a proposal is under development within SFF, and a standards project begins in a similar area. The SFF members might submit the draft of the SFF Specication to the standards committee rather than operate a parallel effort. In the case of proposals submitted to SFF which now have a status of Fs, the proposal never became an SFF project or specication. Instead the proposal was forwarded to the appropriate standards body for further consideration. A copy of the proposal submitted to SFF remains available for historical purposes, however, the contents may no longer be valid. The latest documentation for forwarded SFF specications should be obtained from the committee the proposal was forwarded to. The best way to track standards activity is to subscribe to the document service for X3T10 subcommittees: CBEMA X3 Secretariat: 1250 Eye St. #200 Washington DC 20005 Ph: 202-737-8888 Fax: 202-638-4922

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 18, 1996 12:12 pm 1.3 Summary of SFF Principals

Introduction Summary of SFF Principals

Documents created by the SFF Committee are expected to be submitted to accredited standards bodies such as EIA (Electronic Industries Association) or ASC (Accredited Standards Committee) X3T10. They may be accepted for separate standards, or incorporated into other standards activities. The principles of operation for the SFF Committee are not unlike those of an accredited standards committee. There are 3 levels of participation: - Attending the meetings is open to all, but taking part in discussions is limited to member companies, or those invited by member companies. - The minutes and copies of material which are discussed during meetings are distributed only to those who sign up to receive documentation. - The individuals who represent member companies of the SFF Committee receive documentation and vote on issues that arise. Votes are not taken during meetings, only guidance on directions. All voting is by letter ballot, which ensures all members an equal opportunity to be heard. Material presented at SFF Committee meetings becomes public domain. There are no restrictions on the open mailing of material presented at committee meetings. In order to reduce disagreements and misunderstandings, copies must be provided for all agenda items that are discussed. Copies of the material presented, or revisions if completed in time, are included in the documentation mailings. The sites for SFF Committee meetings rotate based on which member companies volunteer to host the meetings. For information on meeting dates and places, subscribe to the SFF E-mail reector.

1.11 Unresolved Issues

This section identies issues which are still unresolved. Refer to E-mail on the ATAPI Reector ([email protected]) for details on each of the issues identied below: Note at this time there are no unresolved issues.

1.12 Change History

SFF 8020 r1.2 was published in February 1994. This has become the defacto industry standard. After the version 1.2 was published, corrections were made through the use of an errata document. The 8020 and 8029 were used together as a document set. Many changes to 8029 Errata for 8020 r1.2 between March 1994 and March 1995 were made. 1.2 to 2.0 Early 1995. All Errata incorporated into the SFF ATAPI Document and 8029 removed from use.

2.0a to 2.1 March 1995. Basic Overlap capability added. Many editorial changes.

2.1 to 2.2 April 1995. Proxy IRQ added. Interleaved DMA added. CHANGER STATUS, LOAD/UNLOAD CD added. Establishes a simple way for ATAPI tape and CD devices to manage built in low cost CHANGER mechanisms.

2.2 to 2.3 May 1995. Page 6 PLAY CD added. The PLAY CD command simplies playing audio and video to an external device (e.g. an IEC958 or EBU port). Register Shadowing and Single device clarications were added. INQUIRY Vital Product Data and Vital Product Data Parameters were deleted. PLAY AUDIO (12) was deleted. working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Introduction

Read (12) was deleted. PLAY AUDIO TRACK RELATIVE was deleted. REZERO UNIT was removed as this command was redundant with the reset command and was unsupported. PLAY CD-ROM XA, and SEND CD-ROM XA DATA were removed. The XA Annex and all XA commands (PLAY, SEND) were removed due to a lack of denition and support by OS and ATAPI CD-ROM devices. Vendor Identication List (Table 141) was removed since the information is contained in the SCSI document provided as a normative reference. READ CD Data Transfer Modes. Many of these modes were deleted because the group felt that they were complicated to implemented and not required by current OS drivers.

2.3 to 2.4 July 1995 MECHANISM STATUS command replaces the Changer Status command. This command become mandatory for both changer and normal CD mechanisms. This command is used by non changer mechanisms to report the current state of the device (includes playing, scanning, idle...). Proxy Interrupt removed. Overlapped DMA removed. Interleaved DMA removed. Some clarications to the Changer commands. Many small editorial and clarication changes.

2.4 to 2.5 July 1995 The Opcode for the MECHANISM STATUS Command has been changed from B8h to BDh. The Opcode for the PLAY CD Command has been changed from B4h to BCh. The READ (12) has been added back into the specication. An ATAPI Version has been added to the INQUIRY Data. For conformance to ATAPI 2.5 the value returned is 2h. Further clarications to the Changer commands were made. Sub-channel data returned in the READ CD commands was limited to Audio tracks. Table 26 has been rearranged and corrected. Mechanism Status, CD Mechanism State information now allows the host to determine if a Play or Read operation is in progress and if the Audio or other ports are in use. The SRST will no longer require the drive to perform the DASP / PDIAG Master Slave Handshaking Protocol. The Identify Drive Data was brought in line with ATA.

2.5 to 2.6 November 1995 Clarication of Byte Count Register Usage for Packet Commands. Clarication of back-to-back data transfers SRST allowed to be used during Power Management of ATAPI Devices

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 18, 1996 12:12 pm

SRST use of the PDIAG signal is claried Clarication of error condition for truncating data when allocation is non zero.

Introduction Change History

Error code returned when loading a slot with no disc present has been changed from 05/24 to 02/ 3A. Table 65, CD-ROM Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page Format, now denes bytes 2 and 3, for new CD media type functions. Clarication of CD-ROM Medium Type Codes, Table 56. Block Error Flag byte dened as the OR of all C2 Error Bytes. Table 120, ISRC Format, byte denitions have been changed. Added table for TOC TRACK DESCRIPTORS. Section 3.3.49, Track Relative Logical Address, has been removed. Bytes 2 and 3 of INQUIRY command changed to reserved. References to EVPD removed. READ TOC command - Format eld now includes Byte 2.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication General

2.0 General
2.1 Overview
The primary objective of this Standard is to provide an inexpensive CD-ROM interface. The existing ATA does not provide an adequate command structure to support CD-ROM devices. Although the inclusion of a CD-ROM drive would compromise the performance of another disk on the same ATA Cable, this standard does addresses this through the use of overlapped operation.

2.2 Feature Summary

This section provides an abbreviated list of the perceived requirements upon which the development of this specication was based. Do not break any existing ATA drive connections when the CD-ROM is attached, e.g., completely compatible with existing hardware and drivers. Prevent BIOS and O/S recognition of ATAPI Peripherals as hard disk drives. Allow one ATA cable and I/O registers to support one ATA drive and one CD-ROM peripheral. Support for the ATA master / slave protocol. Support for 8-bit Task File registers and 16-bit data transfer register. Reset the peripheral into a known state. Provide a status indication of Peripheral Ready to accept commands. Provide capability for sending CDB like (Command Packet Bytes) to the peripheral. Support for command packets of at least 12 bytes in length. Capability to indicate to the Host computer when Command Packet can be transferred. Capability to Interrupt the Host computer when data can be transferred. Capability to Interrupt the Host computer when command complete. Send & Receive Data bytes using either PIO or DMA. Capable of transferring variable length data packets. (Drive indicates to Host amount to transfer.) Send Status of command operation (Error / Done / Data Ready...) to the host computer. Enable and disable Host interrupts from the peripheral. Detect when a peripheral is interrupting (Which & Why.) Detect when an ATAPI peripheral is attached to the ATA Cable. Support for both primary and secondary ATA addressing / cable. Support for all ATA 948 data transfer timing. Support for the CD-DA, CD-XA, CD +, Multi Session and Hybrid (Photo CD) formats. Support for multiple speed drives. Support multiple block sizes (i.e. 2048, 2052, 2056, 2324, 2332, 2336, 2340 & 2352) Overlap Commands with non-overlapping ATA devices. Support for Embedded Media Changers.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Conventions

3.0 Conventions
3.1 Document Conventions
Certain words and terms used in this document have specic meaning beyond the normal English meaning. These words and terms are dened either in this section or in the text where they rst appear. Names of signals, commands, statuses, and sense keys are in all uppercase (e.g. REQUEST SENSE). Lower case is used for words having the normal English meaning. Fields containing only one bit are usually referred to as the <name> bit instead of the <name> eld. Numbers that are not immediately followed by a lower case b or h are decimal (0xnn for Hexadecimal, where nn refers to two hexadecimal digits 0-9, A-F.)

3.2 Signal Conventions

Signal names are shown in all upper case letters. Signals can be asserted (active, true) in either a high (more positive voltage) or low (less positive voltage) state. A dash character (-) at the beginning or end of a signal name indicates it is asserted at the low level (active low). No dash or a plus character (+) at the beginning or end of a signal name indicates it is asserted high (active high). An asserted signal may be driven high or low by an active circuit, or it may be allowed to be pulled to the correct state by the bias circuitry. Control signals that are asserted for one function when high and asserted for another function when low are named with the asserted high function name followed by a slash character (/), and the asserted low function name followed with a dash (-) e.g. BITENA/BITCLR- enables a bit when high and clears a bit when low. All signals are TTL-compatible unless otherwise noted. Negated means that the signal is driven by an active circuit to the state opposite to the asserted state (inactive, or false) or may be simply released (in which case the bias circuitry pulls it inactive, or false) at the option of the implementor. Control signals that may be used for two mutually exclusive functions are identied with their two names separated by a colon e.g. SPSYNC:CSEL can be used for either the Spindle Sync or the Cable Select functions.

3.3 Denitions 3.3.1 Absolute F Field

Absolute F eld is the least signicant part of the absolute physical address from the beginning of the media. It is written on CD-ROM media in binary-coded decimal notation. The value ranges from 00 to 74.

3.3.2 Absolute M Field

Absolute M eld is the most signicant part of the absolute physical address from the beginning of the media. It is written on CD-ROM media in binary-coded decimal notation. The value ranges from 00 to 99.

3.3.3 Absolute S Field

Absolute S eld is the intermediate signicant part of the absolute physical address from the beginning of the media. It is written on CD- ROM media in binary-coded decimal notation. The value ranges from 00 to 59.

Page 11

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 18, 1996 12:12 pm 3.3.4 ATA (AT Attachment)
ATA denes a compatible register set and a 40-pin connector and its associated signals.

Conventions Denitions

3.3.5 BCD
Binary coded decimal: The number system used on the physical CD-ROM and CD-DA media. Numbers that use this notation have the bcd sufx attached. A byte has two 4-bit values, each of which can have a value from 0 to 9. The maximum value is 99bcd (99 decimal). BCD is only used on the physical CD Media, and never to/from the host except when raw sub-channel data is returned in the data to the host. Example: 00 01 02 03... 08 09 10 11... 19 20 21... 98 99bcd.

3.3.6 Block
The term block refers to the data in one logical block; the number of bytes in a block is dened by the logical block length in the mode block descriptor.

3.3.7 Blocks Per Sector

Blocks per sector is the number of logical blocks read from each CD-ROM physical sector. The value depends on the logical block length as dened in the mode block descriptor.

3.3.8 CD-DA
Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA) is the standardized medium for recording digital/audio information. The Red Book denes CD-DA media.

3.3.9 CD-ROM
Compact Disc - Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) is the standardized medium for recording digitized audio and digital data. CD-ROM is used to describe media with digital data rather than discs that encode audio only. The ISO/IEC 10149 standard denes CD-ROM media.

3.3.10 CD-ROM Control Field

The CD-ROM Control Field is a 4-bit eld in the Q sub-channel data indicating the type of information encoded on the current track. It indicates audio versus data and the type of audio encoding, etc. The control eld is also found in the table of contents entries.

3.3.11 CD-ROM Data Mode

A byte in the header of CD-ROM data sectors. This indicates if data is present and if layered error correction information is present.

3.3.12 Changer
Changer is a mechanical device which allows a single physical CD-ROM drive to load and unload multiple CD-ROM without user intervention.

Page 12

working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Conventions 3.3.13 CHS (Cylinder-Head-Sector)

This is an ATA term dening the addressing mode of the drive as being by physical address. This form of addressing is not used by ATAPI Devices.

3.3.14 CIRC
Cross Interleaved Reed-Solomon Code (CIRC) is the error detection and correction technique used within small frames of audio or data. The CIRC bytes are present in all CD-ROM data modes. The error correction procedure which uses the CIRC bytes is referred to as the CIRC based algorithm. In most CD-ROM drives, this function is implemented in hardware.

3.3.15 Command Packet (CP)

Command Packet is the structure used to communicate commands from a host computer to an ATAPI device.

3.3.16 Data Block

This term describes a data transfer, and is typically a single sector, except when declared otherwise by use of the Set Multiple command.

3.3.17 DMA (Direct Memory Access)

DMA is a means of data transfer between peripheral and host memory without processor intervention.

3.3.18 Field
A eld is a group of one or more contiguous bits.

3.3.19 Frame
A frame is a physical sector on CD-ROM media or the F eld unit of a MSF CD-ROM address. The term frame is also used in the CD-ROM model to describe the amount of data received between synchronization patterns. Ninety-eight frames make a sector. This sort of frame is referred to as a small frame when the meaning is not clear from the context.

3.3.20 Hold Track State

When a CD-ROM device enters the hold track state the optical pick-up is maintained at an approximately constant position on the media. This allows a paused operation to be resumed without latency due to seeking. However, rotational latency may be incurred.

3.3.21 Index
An index is a subdivision of a CD-ROM track. A track can have from 1 to 99 index numbers. Index numbers within a track are sequential, starting with 1.

3.3.22 Invalid
Invalid refers to an illegal (reserved) or unsupported eld or code value.

working draft ATAPI

Page 13

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 18, 1996 12:12 pm 3.3.23 LBA (Logical Block Address)
The LBA denes the addressing mode of the drive by the linear mapping of sectors from 0 to n.

Conventions Denitions

3.3.24 Logical Block

A Logical Block is a unit of data supplied or requested by a host computer.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Overview

4.0 ATAPI Overview

The purpose of the ATAPI is to provide a more extensible and general purpose interface than the ATA Task le. Although the attachment of a CD-ROM on the ATAPI Interface will utilize the ATA Host Hardware and Task File, the logical interface will differ slightly and will need to support additional capabilities. The Mass Storage devices connected to the ATA make use of eight registers (Task File) that contain the command and all parameters needed for operation. However, eight registers is not enough to pass all the needed information for commanding other peripheral types. To remedy this, the ATAPI Device will receive its commands through the use of a Packet mode, in addition to the normal ATA protocol. The Packet Command will complement the existing ATA commands. The ATAPI Device shall support all of the ATA specied protocol, including the Reset Master/Slave Diagnostic Sequence, Diagnostic Command, and Command Abort for unsupported Commands. The ATAPI Device shall also support both the Master and Slave modes of operation.

4.1 ATA Signal Utilization

ATAPI Devices will utilize the same signals and timing from the ATA Standard and Extensions.

4.2 ATA Command Utilization

The ATA Task File concept does not contain enough bytes to support some of the CD-ROM command structures, so a new command called ATAPI Packet Command has been added to allow a Packet to be sent to the Device. The Packet will be transferred by writing multiple times to the Data Register. No random access to the register le in the Peripheral can be done. This technique reduces the number of register addresses needed, but not the actual space needed. Although all the commands for the CD-ROM Device could be sent via this packet mode, some of the existing ATA commands and the full ATA command protocol must be provided for the existing drivers to operate correctly. The CD-ROM Device will therefore support some existing ATA commands in addition to the new ATAPI Packet command, so that there will be minimal changes to the existing drivers. This minimal set of ATA commands is different than the minimum as dened in the ATA standard, but should be sufcient for normal operation.

4.3 ATA Compatibility

There are several backward compatibility issues with the existing ATA commands, and therefore the ATAPI CD-ROM Device will respond to the existing ATA Reset Master/Slave Diagnostic Sequence, but not the Identify Drive or Read commands. This will allow the BIOS and older drivers to ignore the CD-ROM Device and not confuse CD-ROM data with normal ATA Drive format data. All unsupported ATA commands shall be Aborted, and not executed. As with aborted commands in ATA, an interrupt will be generated to signal the completion with an aborted error status.

4.4 Packet Types

To allow for generic packet transfer and the connection of SCSI like peripherals, there shall exist a minimum set of information that is exchanged. This information shall generically support the following: Command Packet (Always padded to number of bytes identied in byte 0 of the identify drive data. 00 = 12 bytes, 01 = 16 bytes) Command Parameter Data (e.g. Write Data etc.) Command Response Data (e.g. Read Data etc.) Status. The Status will not take the form of a packet of information. The status will be presented using the ATAPI Status Register (redenitions of the ATA Status Register).

Although this command is Optional for ATAPI the ATA Standard specifies it as Mandatory. This command is specified as Mandatory for ATA, but shall NOT be supported by ATAPI Devices.

4.5 How SCSI is Used by ATAPI

Although the ATAPI Device will utilize many of the actual packet denitions from the SCSI standard, it will NOT use most other features of the normal SCSI Protocol. Thus there are no Phases, no Messages, no sharable bus, (only one Host Computer) and no SCSI Hardware. For those who are familiar with the current SCSI-3 effort, this Standard will not conform with that Packetized Standard.

4.5.1 Differences from the SCSI Standard

Some of the major differences from the SCSI Standard: Status will use the ATAPI description, rather than a Data Byte passed at the end of the command. ATAPI Device is slave during operation rather than the master view of a SCSI Peripheral. No messages are supported. No disconnect/reconnect or any of the SCSI Pointers. No linking. No queueing of commands. All CD-ROM Command Packets (CP) are 12 bytes in length, rather than the 6, 8, 10 or 12-byte packets of the SCSI Standard; however, 16-byte ATAPI Command Packets are dened for SAM compatibility for future Devices. The size of the Command Packet required by a Device is dened in word 0 of the ATAPI Identify Device command, allowing Host System Device Drivers to determine the size of the Command Packets before issuing an ATAPI Command Packet. No allegiance conditions are used.

This standard will make use of many of the Standard SCSI Command Block denitions and Commands, but some of the commands that would normally be supported by a SCSI Device will not be supported for various reasons. These com-

working draft ATAPI

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:56 pm

mands are: Reserve and release; as there is only one Host allowed, this is not needed.

ATAPI Overview How SCSI is Used by ATAPI

Send and receive diagnostics; the ATA EXECUTE DRIVE DIAGS command replaces these commands. Change denitions; as there is no SCSI, this command is nonsensical. Copy / Copy and Verify; no shared bus so this command cant be implemented. Compare; no shared bus, so this command cant be implemented. Read and Write Buffer; simplication. Log Sense and Select; simplication. Search Data; simplication. Verify; simplication.

4.5.2 Redundant Command Functionality (Task File vs. Packet)

The SCSI Standard has provided some commands that the ATA Standard also provides. It is the intent of this standard to allow all the functionality to exist, by utilizing only Command Packets. This will allow existing SCSI like drivers to continue to issue packets for all operation, and have some lower level driver convert them to the ATAPI protocol. Unfortunately there are existing low level drivers that would like to continue to use some non data transfer ATA Task File commands. As such both these Task File and Packet commands will be supported.

4.5.2.1 Door Lock and Door Unlock vs. Prevent / Allow Medium Removal
There is a need to support a removable Device protocol that allows the Device to send a request to the Host to unlock and/ or Eject the media. There is already an existing methodology that provides this capability in ATA. The devicerequested eject is performed by setting the MCR bit in the Error Register and issuing an Error status to the Host (ERR bit in the Status Register) for all subsequent DOOR LOCK commands. The Host would then issue an ACKNOWLEDGE MEDIA CHANGE command to indicate that it will perform the Unlock / Eject sequence. The SCSI PREVENT/ ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command only allows the host to Prevent the user from removing the media and not to signal when the user needs to remove the media. As such both the ATA and Packet (ATAPI) versions of the commands will be supported. When the ATA Door Lock is used, only the MCR bit will be presented to the host, which can then poll for this condition. When the Packet commands are used the MCR / Door Lock sequence will not be used. The Door Lock / Unlock command is optional, but if the MCR bit is set by the device, it shall be supported.

4.5.2.2 ATAPI Identify Drive vs. Inquiry

The ATAPI IDENTIFY DRIVE command has information that the low level drivers use to perform ATA interface hardware conguration. Information in the Identify Drive shall continue to look exactly as the ATA Identify Drive does for compatibility reasons. As the information in the Inquiry Command cannot be returned by the ATAPI Identify Drive Command, the Inquiry Command will be supported for use by higher level drivers.

4.5.2.3 Initialize Drive Parameters and Set Features vs. Mode Sense and Mode Select
The INITIALIZE DRIVE PARAMETERS command does not contain a method to provide non ATA device conguration information, and will not be used. As such the Mode Select and Mode Sense from the SCSI standard shall be supported. The combination of Mode Select and Set Features commands contain all the necessary functionality and is most compatible with the existing BIOSes and OS Drivers.

working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Protocol

5.0 ATAPI Protocol

The ATAPI Device is commanded by two methods, the original ATA Commands utilizing the Task File and the new Packet Command method. For both methods, the devices using this interface shall be programmed by the host computer to perform commands and return status to the host at command completion. When more than one Device is daisy chained on the interface, commands are written in parallel to all peripherals, and for ATA commands except the Execute Diagnostics command, only the selected Device (DRV bit in the Drive/Head ATA Register) executes the command. On an Execute Diagnostics command addressed to Device 0, both devices shall execute the command, and Device 1 shall post its status to Device 0 via PDIAG-. The Protocol for ATAPI centers around the usage of a new ATA Command called ATAPI Packet Command. All the normal ATA rules and protocol are used to issue the Packet Command, but once the command has been issued, a new set of rules applies: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The interpretation of the DRQ bit in the Status Register shall be used along with the Interrupt Reason Registers to determine the actual Interrupt Type. The actual command for the Device to execute is sent as a packet via the data register, and not the Task File. Command arguments are supplied by the Command Packet as well as from the Task File. A Byte Count is used to determine the amount of data the Host shall transfer at each DRQ Interrupt. The ATAPI Features Register is used to indicate when DMA will be used rather than by using different opcodes. The nal status is presented to the Host as a new interrupt after the last data has been transferred, rather than along with the last block of data.

These new rules (protocol) only apply from after the issuance of the Packet Command, until the Completion Status has been read by the Host. After the Completion Status has been read, the Task File Register denitions and Protocol revert to the standard ATA denition.

5.1 Initialization
The ATAPI Device will respond just as dened in the ATA Standard. The DASP and PDIAG signals will only be utilized following a POR or hardware reset condition. Although the ATA SRST is not used for initialization by ATAPI devices, the Software reset dened in the ATA Standard shall be utilized.

5.2 ATAPI PACKET Command

The ATAPI Packet Command is issued exactly as normal ATA commands, by initializing the Task File Registers, setting the Drive Selection Bit and writing the Command byte into the Command Register. With normal ATA commands a DRQ (Optional Interrupt) would be generated to indicate that the data for the command could be transferred to/from the Device. With the Packet Command, the rst DRQ indicates that the Command Packet Data shall be written to the Device. Once the Command Packet has been sent, the command proceeds as a normal ATA command would. The Command Packet bytes shall always be transferred via PIO and never using DMA. ATA Packet Commands can be issued regardless of the state of the DRDY Status Bit. If while polling BSY the device remains in a state where it cannot accept a command for more than 5 seconds, the Host shall time out and reset the device. Data transfers may be accomplished in more ways than are described by this standard, but the sequences described in this Standard shall be used to remain compatible with current and future ATAPI Devices.

ATAPI Protocol Status Register Utilization for Packet Commands

5.3 Status Register Utilization for Packet Commands

See "6.7 ATAPI Register Map (Packet Command)" on page 54 for a description of the register denition.

5.4 Byte Count Register (Cylinder Low/High) Usage for Packet Commands
This register is used to control the number of bytes the Host shall transfer at each DRQ. It is only used for the command parameter data being transferred via PIO and never for DMA or Command Packet bytes. Since the length of data that is actually transferred to and from an ATAPI Device using PIO is controlled by the Host, and since the ATAPI Device needs to be able to control the number of bytes transferred, an additional capability was needed. By using the Byte Count Register, a capability to transfer a variable number of bytes has been created. In ATAPI the Device indicates to the Host the number of bytes that shall be transferred on each DRQ Interrupt. Before transferring data, the Host shall read the 16-bit Byte Count Register, and comply with the length requested. Both the ATAPI Device and the Host will have their own byte counts and will transfer until those counts go to zero. For some commands, such as Mode Sense, the Host does not know the amount of data that will be transferred, and shall rely on the Byte Count supplied by the Device to transfer the correct amount of data. A further capability of the Byte Count Register is for the Host to signal to the ATAPI Device the maximum amount of data it can take in a single PIO DRQ packet and or the preferred packet size. For all commands that require data be transferred, the Host shall set the Byte Count Register to the desired length before issuing the Packet Command. This length shall be used by the ATAPI Device as the maximum size for each PIO or DMA data packet. The Device can choose to transfer packets smaller than those set by the host in the Byte Count Register. The Host has the capability to limit the number of bytes transferred on each DRQ. This limit is communicated to the Device in the Byte Count Register when the Packet Command is issued. The Release is intended to be used only on Block Boundaries and since this DRQ limit could then cause a Release in the middle of a block (if the limit is set smaller than the amount of data to be transferred for one sector), the minimum size of the DRQ limit shall be no smaller than the length of data to be transferred for one sector from the media. This limitation would only be valid for Media Access commands and not applicable to Mode Sense, Inquiry, etc. If the byte count is odd and the amount of data to be sent is larger than the limit, then the amount of data sent on each DRQ shall be less than the specied value as a drive shall not send odd length DRQs, except for the last transfer. Given this, the odd byte count transfer limit in the BC registers cannot be used. The device shall always round down the value to the next lower even number, unless the transfer length matches the actual total transfer length exactly. When a Read command is being processed, the ATAPI Device may wish to send all the data that is available in its buffers on just one DRQ Interrupt, with the limitation that only 65534 bytes may be transferred at one time.

Page 22

working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Protocol

Table 3 - Byte Count Register Usage

Operation
Send Command Packet

Usage (PIO)
Is used as a parameter to the Packet Command and is not used to control the Packet transfer. As a parameter to any Packet Command that will transfer parameter data, the Byte Count is used by the Host to communicate the maximum / preferred amount of data to be transferred on each DRQ. At each DRQ / DMARQ the count contains the number of bytes that the Host shall transfer from the Device. At each DRQ / DMARQ the count contains the number of bytes that the Host shall transfer to the Device.

Usage (Non-Overlapped DMA)

Command Packet is always sent via Programmed I/O and not DMA. The Device can ignore the byte count, as the actual transfers are controlled via the ATAPI Device and not the Host.

Parameters to the Packet Command (Task File Contents)

Parameter Data from the Device to the Host (e.g. data from a Read, or Inquiry command) Parameter Data from the Host to the Device (e.g. data for a Write, or Mode Select command)

The ATAPI Device can transfer data whenever it wishes, and as such the Byte Count shall not be used. The ATAPI Device can transfer data whenever it wishes, and as such the Byte Count shall not be used.

If the Device requests more data be transferred than required by the command protocol, the Host shall pad when sending data to the Device, and dump extra data into a bit bucket when reading data from the Device. On odd byte transfers, the only permissible time for an actual Odd Byte Count value will be on the Last DRQ, intermediate DRQs shall contain even byte counts. The peripheral is not responsible for padding the data. Only the specic amount of data specied by the host byte count shall be transferred. Transfers exceeding the host byte count may cause data corruption.

5.5 Sector Count (ATAPI Interrupt Reason) Register Usage for Packet Commands
The Interrupt Reason Register contains an expanded denition of the ATA DRQ Status. When the DRQ is presented in the ATAPI Status Register for an ATAPI Packet Command, the contents of this register indicate if Packet Command or User Data shall be transferred and, if so, the direction of the transfer, as well as Release and Completion State information.

5.6 Immediate Command Operation

Some of the ATAPI Commands are immediate. These commands return Completion Status immediately, with the actual execution of the command continuing. When the actual completion of the seek operation of immediate commands has occurred, the Device shall set the DSC bit in the Status Register. ATA commands operate differently from packet commands. When a new ATA command is written to the Command Register, before a command has completed, the executing command stops execution and the new command is aborted with an Aborted Command error. If after reporting completion of an Immediate Mode command (Seek, Play Audio, etc.) the device receives a new command before actual completion of the execution of the prior command, the device shall accept the new command and execute it when able. New ATAPI packet commands received while a previous packet command is still executing shall cause both commands to be aborted with an error, Check Condition. If an Immediate Mode command is executing when the devices is issued an SRST the DSC bit shall not be cleared with the rest of the status register. Instead the functionality of the DSC bit shall be maintained.

ATAPI Protocol Overlapped Operation

5.7.1 Example of ATAPI Overlap with only one ATAPI Peripheral

ATAPI Drive Releases the Task File Ownership after acceptance of an ATAPI command. Overlap Mode is enabled on each command via the ATAPI Features Register. Overlapped Commands are issued to an ATA (Legacy) Drive while an ATAPI Command is still processing. Interrupts are generated from the selected device only. Thus the Driver must always select the Overlap capable device when there is no active command to a Legacy Device. Device uses Interrupt & SERVICE Status to gain Hosts attention. SERVICE Status set when any service is needed. Driver uses the A2h (Service) Command to give control of the Task File Registers back to the Device after an Interrupt and Sensing the SERVICE status bit. The Interrupt Reason RELEASE Status bit is used to indicate a Release Interrupt.

This class includes commands such as Inquiry, Read etc. Execution includes the transfer of some unknown number of data bytes from the Device to the host. 1. 2. 3. 4. The host Polls for BSY=0, DRQ=0 then initializes the task le by writing the required parameters to the Features, Byte Count, and Drive/Head registers. The host writes the Packet Command code (A0h) to the Command Register. The Device sets BSY, before the next system read of the status register, and prepares for Command Packet transfer. When the Device is ready to accept the Command Packet, the Device sets CoD and clears IO. DRQ shall then be asserted simultaneous or prior to the de-assertion of BSY. Some Devices will assert INTRQ following the assertion of DRQ. See section 7.1.7.1, "General Conguration Word (0)", on page 63 for command packet DRQ types and other related timing information. After detecting DRQ, the host writes the 12 bytes (6 words) of Command to the Data Register. The Device(1) clears DRQ (when the 12th byte is written), (2) sets BSY, (3) reads Features and Byte Count requested by the host system, (4) prepares for data transfer. When data is available, the Device:(1) places the byte count of the data available into the Cylinder High and Low Registers, (2) sets IO and clears CoD, (3) sets DRQ and clears BSY, (4) sets INTRQ. After detecting INTRQ, the host reads the DRQ bit in the Status Register to determine how it shall proceed with the command. If DRQ= 0 then the device has terminated the command. If DRQ=1 then the host shall read the data (number of bytes specied in the Cylinder High/Low Registers) via the Data Register. In response to the Status Register being read, the Device negates INTRQ for both cases. The Device clears DRQ. If transfer of more data is required, the Device also sets BSY and the above sequence is repeated from step 7.

5. 6. 7. 8.

10. When the Device is ready to present the status, the Device places the completion status into the Status Register, sets CoD, IO, DRDY and, prior to asserting INTRQ, clears BSY and DRQ. 11. After detecting INTRQ & DRQ=0 the host reads the Status Register and if necessary, the Error Register for the command completion status. The DRQ signal is used by the device to indicate when it is ready to transfer data, and is cleared during the last byte of data to be transferred. This applies for both Command Packet as well as normal read/write data.

the Device has been previously commanded to generate an interrupt when done processing the Service Command, the Device shall set INTRQ (1). 13. After detecting INTRQ or that BSY has been cleared, the host reads the DRQ bit in the Status Register to determine how it will proceed with the command. If DRQ= 0 then the device has either released the ATA Bus or terminated the command. If DRQ=1 then the host shall read the data (number of bytes specied in the Cylinder High/Low Registers) via the Data Register. In response to the Status Register being read, the Device negates INTRQ for both cases. 14. If no more data is to be transferred, proceed to step 19. 15. One of two possibilities exists, either Release or back-to-back data transfers. If Release, proceed to Step 17. 16. The device (1) sets Busy; (2) clears DRQ; and (3) the Release bit is cleared. The IO CoD bits remain the same. Proceed to step 12. 17. The Device (1) leaves BSY cleared, (2) clears DRQ. The RELEASE Bit shall have been set at the beginning of the last data transfer. The IO and CoD bits shall remain in the same state as for a normal data transfer, this distinguishes the Release from a Status state. 18. The above sequence is repeated from step 9. 19. The Device clears DRQ and sets BSY. 20. The Device places the completion status into the Status Register, sets CoD, IO, DRDY, clears RELEASE, BSY, and DRQ, prior to asserting INTRQ. 21. After detecting INTRQ & DRQ=0, the host reads the Status Register and if necessary, the Error Register for the command completion status. If the Host detects that the RELEASE Bit or that both IO and CoD are not set this is not a status state but a release state and should proceed accordingly. The DRQ signal is used by the device to indicate when it is ready to transfer data, and is cleared after (during) the last byte of data to be transferred. This applies for both Command Packet as well as normal read/write data. The RELEASE Bit is used to signal that the Drive has released the ATA Bus. The RELEASE Bit shall be qualied by the host with both BSY and DRQ cleared. If either BSY or DRQ is set, then the value in the RELEASE bit is undened.

The order that the signals change shall adhere to the following conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Upon receiving the A0h ATAPI Packet Command the Device shall have BSY asserted until the next host access of the Status Register where the device can guarantee that CoD=1 and IO=0. The Device shall not assert DRQ until CoD and IO are valid for the command or data packet to be transferred and the device is ready to perform that transfer. The Device shall clear BSY and set DRQ within the time-out specied by the CMD DRQ Type. See section 7.1.7.1, "General Conguration Word (0)", on page 63 for additional information. Devices reporting CMD DRQ Type Accelerated shall de-assert DRQ within 5us of the last word transferred for a command or data packet unless Back-to-Back Data Transfers in an overlapped mode are performed. Devices reporting a CMD DRQ Type other than Accelerated shall de-assert DRQ, before asserting INTRQ, following the last word transferred for a command or data packet.

Implementers Note: Early ATAPI Devices reporting CMD DRQ Types other than Accelerated may not be able to deassert DRQ before the next INTRQ. Host systems should therefore wait until the device asserts INTRQ before testing DRQ following the transfer of the last data word in a command or data packet.

See section 7.1.7.1, "General Conguration Word (0)", on page 63 for additional DRQ and other timing related information.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Protocol 5.17 Overlapped Command Operation

Devices reporting support for Overlapped commands are capable of improving system performance by releasing the ATA bus to another device before completing a command in progress. The host system can enable this feature by setting the OVERLAP bit in the Feature Register when it issues an ATAPI Packet command. The device uses the RELEASE bit in the ATAPI Interrupt Reason register to notify the host that it has released the ATA bus before it has completed the command in progress. Releasing the ATA bus to another device is at the discretion of the device processing an Overlapped command. Devices should only Release the ATA Bus, before a command has completed, when the host will not need to service an Interrupt or DRQ from the device for more than the time specied in words 71 and 72 of the devices identify drive data. This is typically the cases for seeks on mechanically slower devices such as CD-ROM and Tape. When the host detects a Release from a device to which it has sent an overlapped command, the DRV bit may be changed to select another device and issue a command. Changing the DRV bit while BSY or DRQ are set may cause the currently selected device to abort any command in progress. The normal protocol for Non-Overlapped commands requires that the command complete before the host can select another device. This means that the host will not be able to access the Overlapped device again until the non overlapped device completes any command the host may issue to it. To ensure fairness between slower Overlapped and faster Non-Overlapped devices sharing the same ATA channel, the host should poll the slower Overlapped devices SERVICE bit before issuing each new command to the faster nonOverlapped device. When the host detects that the SERVICE bit in the ATAPI STATUS Register is set, a Service (A2h) command shall be issued before any task le registers besides ATAPI STATUS are valid. Slower Overlapped devices may release control of the ATA bus several times while processing an overlapped command. DMA Operation for an overlapped command will make use of a new protocol. This Overlapped DMA protocol will cause the ATA bus to be released after a specied number of data bytes have been transferred. When DMA data is to be transferred, the protocol sequence used for PIO will be followed. When data is to be transferred a Service Interrupt will be generated. No data will be transferred until the Service (A2h) command has been received by the Device. The number of bytes that will be transferred is specied in the BYTE COUNT Register after the Service (A2h) command has been processed. After the specied number of bytes is transferred the ATA bus shall either be released or held busy until data or status are available. At the completion of data transfer or within 5s, either a Release or a Back-to-back data transfer shall be initiated.

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:56 pm 5.17.1 Release

ATAPI Protocol Overlapped Command Operation

One of the capabilities that is the foundation for Overlapped operation is Release. There are three different forms of release used in this specication, after the receipt of a Command, after transferring some data and after the receipt of the Service Command. This specication will allow the device to implement these release operations either in the Firmware or in Hardware. Each of these release points has its own complexities. For example before the Task File Registers can be released after the receipt of a command, the Command and parameter information must be saved. Once the release is performed the contents of the Task File Registers can no longer be used by the Device. Although this save would seem simple, adding a complete set of shadow registers is expensive and will not allow the device to perform command queueing that may be proposed in future versions of this specication. For command queuing there must be separate registers/memory locations for each of the commands that can be queued. Thus if the device supports 16 commands, then 16 back to back commands could be sent to the device by the host faster then the device could process them. The device could have only one set of shadow registers and only automatically release the Task File Registers when moving the standard set into the shadow set, but this would incur delays for release when the second command was loaded if the rst had not yet been processed by the device. This would thus cause inconsistent delays until the Task File Registers were released. This specication assumes the device will consistently unload the information in the Task File Registers. Although holding the BSY longer in some cases would most likely be acceptable from a system performance standpoint, forcing the driver to poll for varying lengths of time is not. This specication forces the device to report the typical length of time that the device will require to unload and then Release the Task File Registers. Further to reduce the length of time that the Driver would have to poll for the Release, this specication has an Interrupt on Release Capability. The Interrupt on Release capability is enabled by the Host Driver using a SET FEATURES Command. To assist the Driver in determining if the Interrupt should be enabled the IDENTIFY DRIVE Command returns the length in microseconds that the device will use to Release for both an Overlapped Command and the Service Command. The Driver can then make its own decision to enable the interrupt. Thus if the Device reports 1000 s, the Driver could decide that it wants to poll and not enable the interrupt (Unlikely). The Release after the transfer of data shall be performed by hardware for all data transfer operations and as such there is no Interrupt generated after the release when transferring data. An optional Back-to-Back Data Transfer without a Release or IRQ can be used by a device.

5.17.2 Service Command (A2h)

The Arbitration of the Task File Registers is performed by logic outside of the Devices attached to the ATA Cable. The basic premise is that the Device releases the use of the Task File Registers when it is processing the command and no longer needs the registers. This of course makes it difcult to place the arguments for the Interrupt into the registers as the device no longer owns them. The Service command essentially hands the registers back to the device so that the correct parameters can be placed into them. These parameters include the Byte Count, and Interrupt Reason. The Clearing of Busy after the Service Command shall only occur after the parameters for the Interrupt are loaded into the Task File Registers. Thus for a hardware implementation of this Clearing of Busy, there should exist a separate set of information for these parameters e.g. Byte Count, Interrupt Reason, Status. Note, in the future, acceleration of the Service Command will become very important to the overall system performance when using overlap. It is highly recommended that the time required to perform the Clearing of Busy after the SERVICE Command is less than 5s. When an overlapped command requests service the Host Driver is responsible for determining which device should be serviced, and then issuing the Service Command. This causes the device to place information on the reason for the service into the Task File registers.

When BSY or DRQ is set, the Task File Registers are owned by the Device, otherwise the Registers are owned by the Host. When the Device does not own the Registers, it shall not write to into them. The "Table 6 - Registers Controlled by BSY & DRQ" on page 45 shows which of the ATA Registers are considered part of the Owned Task File Registers.

Logic conventions are:

A = signal asserted, N = signal negated, x = does not matter which it is. Dark Gray are registers where ownership is controlled by BSY & DRQ. Light Gray are Registers that are not dened for use by ATA.

5.17.5 Error Handling with Overlapped Commands

An issue can arise with because overlapped commands are enabled on a Command by Command basis. If an overlapped command is in progress and a non-overlapped command is then received, the Device must abort without any status any outstanding overlapped command. In overlapped operation there will be intermediate command status, as well as the nal command completion status. The intermediate status is supplied to indicate if the command was accepted. If the command is not accepted, then there will be no further status supplied. The intermediate status is the status at the point that the device releases the Task File registers back to the host, prior to executing the command. Thus this status can only relate to the validity of the command and not any command execution.

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:56 pm 5.18 BIOS and ATAPI Driver Compatibility

ATAPI Protocol BIOS and ATAPI Driver Compatibility

This section discusses the IDE features and functions that shall be provided by the ATA Device to allow the BIOS and driver to be content.

5.18.1 Reset Master/Slave Diagnostics Sequence

A Reset Master/Slave Diagnostics Sequence with a Good Status shall be provided or the BIOS will not continue. When the CD-ROM is the slave device, and it does not respond after the Reset or Diagnostic Commands, the Master Device will return an Error Condition to the Host Computer and all will die.

5.18.2 SRST Initialization Sequence

The SRST bit in the ATAPI Device Control Register (See Table 17 - ATAPI Device Control Register (ATA Device Control Register) on page 57) shall NOT be used by the ATAPI Driver (except for power management when SRST is used to wake up an ATAPI device). Instead the ATAPI Device Driver shall reset the ATAPI Device utilizing the ATAPI Soft Reset command (see 6.2 ATAPI Soft Reset Command and Protocol on page 50). Resetting the ATAPI Device using the ATA SRST would also reset any ATA hard drive attached, and if there are separate Drivers for an IDE and an ATAPI device, each driver would be resetting the others peripheral without the other driver being aware of the reset.

5.18.2.1 SRST Sequence Device 0

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Host sets SRST bit to one. Device 0 sets BSY within 400 nsec. Device 0 Posts diagnostic results in the Error Register. Device 0 waits for the Host to clear SRST to zero. If Device 0 detected that Device 1 is present during the most recent power on or hardware reset sequence, then Device 0 waits up to 31 seconds from the time that SRST bit became zero for Device 1 to assert PDIAG-. If PDIAG- is asserted within 31 seconds, Device 0 clears bit 7 of the Error Register to zero, else Device 0 sets bit 7 equal to one in the Error Register. If Device 1 was not detected in the most recent power up or hardware reset sequence, then Device 0 clears bit 7 of the Error Register to zero. Device 0 loads the ATAPI Signature into the Task File Registers. Device 0 Clears the BSY bit to zero when ready to accept commands within 31 seconds after the SRST bit was cleared to zero.

6. 7.

5.18.2.2 SRST Sequence Device 1

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Host sets SRST bit to one. Device 1 sets BSY within 400 nsec. Device 1 negates PDIAG- within 1 msec after SRST is set to one. Device 1 Posts diagnostic results in the Error Register. Device 1 waits for the Host to clear SRST to zero. Device 1 loads the ATAPI Signature into the Task File Registers. Device 1 Clears the BSY bit to zero when ready to accept commands within 31 seconds after the SRST bit was cleared to zero. If Device 1 didnt post any error, assert PDIAG-, else optionally assert PDIAG-.

working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Protocol 5.18.2.3 Other SRST Related Issues
A value other than 00h in the status register prior to the receipt of the rst ATAPI Command Packet from the host may cause ATAPI Devices to be incorrectly identied by pre-ATAPI host BIOS as an ATA-compatible disk drive. Initializing the task le upon receipt of an SRST works since only immediate commands will be executing when an ATA disk driver issues an SRST. To prevent interruption of ATAPI immediate commands which have not nished executing, the function of the DSC bit (i.e. command complete) shall be maintained. On a warm boot the BIOS and/or drivers may see a status of 00h or 10h, depending on whether or not an ATAPI immediate command completed at the same time the system performed the WARM BOOT. The signature placed in the task le following an SRST shall remain until the ATAPI device receives its rst ATAPI command, i.e., the ATAPI device will look NOT READY (DRDY=0). This will not affect the ATAPI device drivers ability to send ATAPI commands to the ATAPI device since it is not required to wait for DRDY=1. However, it will prevent ATA-compatible drivers, such as those performing power management, from sending commands to an ATAPI device until the ATAPI device has received its rst ATAPI command: ATAPI Packet Command, ATAPI Identify Device, ATAPI Soft Reset. ATAPI drivers wishing to use ATA power management commands must poll DRDY and, if it is not set, they must also look at the Cylinder registers for the ATAPI signature. If the signature is present, the ATAPI driver must issue the ATAPI device an ATAPI command, re-enabling DRDY, before it can issue an ATA Power management command. Operating systems wishing to use a common ATA power management driver must also be changed to perform this detection and recovery sequence, if they intend to power-manage ATAPI devices.

5.18.3 Special Handling of ATA Read and Identify Drive Commands

ATAPI drivers shall not issue SRST since it may corrupt the state of ATA IDE drives sharing the same cable. Instead, ATAPI drivers shall use the ATAPI Soft RESET command to initialize an ATAPI device. Note that ATAPI commands shall not be issued to a device which has not already been identied as an ATAPI device. In order to provide ATAPI drivers with the ability to force a device to initialize its ATAPI signature (Cylinder High = EBh, Cylinder Low = 14h) without issuing an SRST, ATAPI devices shall abort the ATA Read and Identify Drive commands and initialize the task le with the ATAPI signature before clearing BSY.

5.18.4 ATAPI aware BIOS and Driver Considerations

Pre-ATAPI BIOS will not detect or congure ATAPI devices. Some of these BIOS are capable of conguring ATA hard disks for ATA Mode 3 IORCHDY operation. This places a special burden on ATAPI drivers to detect the presence of any ATA disk drives sharing the same port address and congure the ATAPI device for a compatible mode of operation. Note that a special IDE port conguration driver must be provided by the IDE card manufacturer to congure the cards proprietary IDE conguration control registers. These proprietary IDE card drivers should be loaded before the ATAPI driver. During ATAPI device detection, ATAPI device drivers or ATAPI-aware BIOS should verify that Status=00h (Not BSY, Not RDY) and that the ATAPI signature Cylinder High = EBh, Cylinder Low = 14h are present. If an ATAPI device is detected, then issue an ATAPI Identify Command to complete the ATAPI detection protocol and re-enable the task le (DRDY=1). If the device is ready to accept an ATA command, but no ATAPI signature is detected, then issue an ATA

working draft ATAPI

Page 47

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:56 pm

ATAPI Protocol BIOS and ATAPI Driver Compatibility

Read or Identify Drive command to the device to force the ATAPI device to initialize its signature. Then wait for BSY=0 and re-verify the presence of the ATAPI signature. If there is still no ATAPI signature present, do not congure the device. ATAPI-aware BIOS and drivers should give special attention to managing congurations where ATAPI drivers share an IDE port address (Cable) with ATA IDE drives and their drivers. ATA IDE drivers frequently issue SRSTs to manage errors thereby causing ATAPI devices to clear DRDY as part of their SRST ATAPI signature initialization sequence. If the ATAPI driver already knows that the device it wishes to issue an ATAPI command to is an ATAPI device, then it need not take special action since issuing any of the ATAPI commands which do not require DRDY=1, will restore the ATAPI devices ability to accept ATA commands. If, however, the ATAPI driver wishes to issue an ATA command to an ATAPI device which has received an SRST from an ATA IDE driver, it should issue the ATAPI device an ATAPI Soft Reset to restore the ATAPI devices ability to accept ATA commands. Note that Newer BIOS detect the presence of a Drive (see "4.3 ATA Compatibility" on page 17) by using the IDENTIFY DRIVE command, but older BIOS use conguration information from outside the IDE/ATA interface. It has also been discovered that very old BIOS may issue an ATA READ command to detect the presence of an ATA IDE drive. Therefore, the ATA READ and IDENTIFY DRIVE commands shall be aborted by ATAPI Devices. It has also been discovered that some BIOS look at the status register to detect the presence of an ATA drive. Implementers Note: Implementers of ATAPI drivers which are intended to share a single cable with a disk and disk driver should ensure that the device has completed any issued commands prior to changing the DRV bit.

5.18.5 Default Timing

It is recommended that ATAPI devices compatible with this specication, support ATA mode 3 timing without requiring the host system to congure the ATAPI device using any set features commands. ATAPI devices should therefore either be fast enough to always supply data at the maximum rate allowed by Mode 3 or the ATAPI device must be shipped with IORDY enabled. ATAPI devices shall revert to their default interface conguration on a Power On Reset or a Hardware Reset. Implementers Note: A Non-Overlapped low-speed drive, Mode 0-2, may affect system performance when sharing the same cable with hard disk drives capable of mode 3 or faster data transfer timing.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Transport Mechanism

6.0 ATAPI Transport Mechanism

The Transport Mechanism provides for the hardware support to connect the host computer to the Peripheral.

6.1 Reset Conditions

There are three types of Reset Condition to which ATAPI Devices shall respond: Power On Reset or Hardware Reset: the Device executes a series of electrical circuitry diagnostics and sets default values, as well as executing the Master Slave Diagnostic Protocol. ATAPI Soft Reset: ATAPI Devices shall reset the interface circuitry according to the Set Features requirement upon receipt of the ATAPI Soft Reset Command. ATA SRST: ATAPI Devices shall provide the normal ATA PDIAG/ DASP sequence and initialize the task le with the ATAPI signature upon detection of SRST. No actual reset of the ATAPI device will occur, no commands that may be active will be aborted or stopped.

The Reset Conditions above are listed in order of precedence. That is, Power On or Hardware Reset shall take precedence over ATAPI Soft Reset, which shall take precedence over ATA SRST, which shall take precedence over all other conditions.

6.1.1 Power On or Hardware Reset

Each ATAPI Device, as it is powered on, shall perform appropriate internal reset operations, and internal test operations. ATAPI Devices upon detection of reset, shall: 1. 2. 3. 4. Clear all Commands and I/O operations in progress. Return to Devices default conguration. Perform the DASP / PDIAG sequence (See "Figure 10 - DASP / PDIAG Sequence after Hardware Reset or Power On" on page 50). Return any ATAPI Device operating modes to their appropriate initial conditions, similar to those conditions that would be found after a normal power-on reset. MODE SELECT conditions shall be restored to their last saved values if saved values have been established. MODE SELECT conditions for which no values have been saved shall be returned to their default values. Initialize the Task File Registers as follows: Status = 00h, Error = 01h, Sector Count = 01h, Sector Number = 01h, Cylinder Low = 14h, Cylinder High =EBh and Drive/Head = 00h. A value other than 00 in the status register prior to the receipt of the rst ATAPI Command Packet from the host may cause the ATAPI Device to be incorrectly identied by the host as an ATA compatible disk drive. BSY = 0, following any Reset, indicates to the Host that the registers within the Task File have been initialized.

6.2 ATAPI Soft Reset Command and Protocol

ATA species a mandatory software reset capability because it provides a recovery mechanism from a class of errors/ problems that are recoverable in no other way. The current CD-ROM drivers invoke this feature at some point in their error recovery procedures today. The ATA software reset mechanism, SRST, (bit 2 in the Device Control Register) cannot be used for ATAPI Devices, because resets issued by the ATAPI driver would also reset any attached hard disk and vice versa. For a software reset to be useful, it must be able to bring the drives microprocessor back from a busy or hung condition, allowing issuance of a diagnostic or some other command. Since the microprocessor is the destination of the reset, we cant depend on it as part of the reset path. Therefore, ATAPI Soft Reset shall be detected/decoded by the interface controller circuitry and be routed back to the microprocessor as a hardware signal. Upon detection of the ATAPI Reset command, shall: 1. 2. Set BSY. When the reset sequence in the Device is complete the Busy status will be cleared. This will be the only status returned to the host by the ATAPI Soft Reset command. Initialize the task le with the same information as after a Power On Reset. See section 6.1.1, "Power On or Hardware Reset", on page 49 for a description of the initialization sequence, with the exception of the DRV bit which shall remain unchanged.

6.3 ATAPI Implementation of ATA SRST

The ATA software reset mechanism, SRST, (bit 2 in the Device Control Register) cannot be used for ATAPI Devices, because resets issued by the ATAPI driver would also reset any attached hard disk and vice versa. To solve this ATAPI denes an ATAPI Soft Reset command using a reserved ATA opcode which could be decoded by the interface controller hardware. Page 50 working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication ATAPI Transport Mechanism

To maintain Master / Slave compatibility with ATA disk drives and prevent detection of ATAPI Devices by non ATAPIaware BIOS, ATAPI Devices shall implement the following upon receipt of an ATA SRST: 1. 2. Perform SRST PDIAG sequence see "5.18.2 SRST Initialization Sequence" on page 46. Initialize the task le with Status = 00h or 10h, Error = According to SRST Sequence, Sector Count = 01h, Sector Number = 01h, Cylinder Low = 14h, Cylinder High =EBh and Drive/Head = 00h. Note that Device 0 will be seleted after the completion of the SRST sequence. The functionality of the DRDY and DSC bits shall be restored on the rst command following an SRST. Continue executing commands or play operations. Leave Mode settings or Set Feature settings unchanged. If a selected ATAPI Device detects SRST while its own DRQ or BSY is set (1), then the command in progress shall be stopped.

6.5 Single Drive Congurations

There can be either one or two drives attached to the ATA Cable, and thus four congurations are possible. Even though there are four possible congurations, only three of them are recommended. An ATAPI Peripheral shall detect each of these three congurations and respond according to "Table 8 - Shadow Registers" on page 52. There are congurations where there may be only one Master or Slave present on the cable. In this case there will be a Shadowing of the registers for the non-existent device.

7.1.1 ATAPI Soft Reset

Note: For performance reasons, a soft reset may not force reading of TOC. See "6.2 ATAPI Soft Reset Command and Protocol" on page 50

7.1.2 Check Power Mode

This command checks the power mode. If the drive is in, going to, or recovering from the Standby Mode, the drive shall set BSY, set the Sector Count Register to 0x00, Clear BSY, and generate an interrupt. If the drive is in Idle Mode, the drive shall set BSY, set the Sector Count Register to 0xFF, clear BSY, and generate and Interrupt.

7.1.3 Execute Drive Diagnostics

This command shall perform the internal diagnostic tests implemented by the drive. The DRV bit is ignored. Both drives, if present, shall execute this command. See the ATA Standard (X3T9.2/791D) for more information.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM ATA (Task File) Commands

Implementers Note: ATAPI device drivers issuing the Execute Diagnostics command will cause all ATA and ATAPI devices to execute a diagnostic command resulting in a device reset. To prevent unwanted resets and or driver compatibility issues, ATAPI drivers should not issue the Execute Diagnostics command. The command is implemented by ATAPI devices for ATA compatibility only.

7.1.4 Idle Immediate

This command causes the drive to set BSY, enter the Idle Mode, clear BSY, and generate an interrupt. The interrupt is generated even though the drive may not have fully transitioned to Idle Mode.

7.1.5 NOP
This command enables a host which can only perform 16-bit register accesses to check drive status. The drive shall respond as it does to an unrecognized command by setting Abort in the Error Register, Error in the Status Register, clearing Busy in the Status Register, and asserting INTRQ.

7.1.7 ATAPI Identify Device

The ATAPI IDENTIFY DEVICE command enables the host to receive parameter information from the drive. The parameter words in the buffer have the arrangement and meaning dened in the table below. All reserved bits or words shall be zero. Although many of the elds of information returned by the ATAPI Identify Device command are inappropriate for a CD-ROM drive, the elds that shall be returned with meaningful information are shown in "Table 19 - Identify Drive, Fields Supported by CD-ROM". Like all ATAPI commands (A0h, A1h and 08h), this command can be issued, regardless of the state of the DRDY. When the command is issued, the device sets BSY, stores the required parameter information in the sector buffer, sets DRQ, and generates an interrupt. Implementers Note: ATAPI devices shall swap bytes for ASCII elds to maintain compatibility with ATA. For example, This Example would be written as hTsiE axpmel.

CD-ROM ATA (Task File) Commands ATA (Task File) Command Implementation Requirements

The Service command is used to restore the task le of a device which has released the ATA bus while processing an overlapped command. Unlike all other commands, a device processing an overlapped command which has its service bit set shall not abort the command in progress. Upon completion of the Service command the devices task le shall reect the correct status of the overlapped command. Upon receipt of the Service command the device shall clear the SERVICE bit before it de-asserts BSY (See "7.1.8 Service" on page 68). Completion of the Service Command is different than all other commands. It occurs when the state of the Task File registers has been restored to the state they would be in if no release had occurred. In this case, the Busy bit shall be cleared.

If the value in the register is not supported or is invalid, the drive posts an Aborted Command error. At power on, or after a hardware reset, the default mode is the same as that represented by values greater than 80h.

7.1.9.1 Set Transfer Mode (03h)

A host can choose the transfer mechanism by Set Transfer Mode and specifying a value in the Sector Count Register. The upper 5 bits dene the type of transfer and the low order 3 bits encode the mode value. Since both PIO and DMA settings can be active simultaneously, the Device shall maintain independent transfer mode settings for both PIO and DMA.

7.1.9.5 Enable Reverting to Power On Defaults (CCh)

A setting of CCh will cause the Device to revert back to the default for settings of greater than 80h, which may have been modied since power on, after a software reset.

7.1.9.6 Disable Interrupt for Release after receipt of Command Packet (DDh)
A setting of DDh will cause the device not to issue an interrupt when the device has released the bus to the host.

7.1.9.7 Disable Interrupt After Completion of Service Command (DEh)

A setting DEh will cause the device not to issue an interrupt when the device has nished processing the Service command (clearing Busy).

7.1.10 Sleep
This command is the only way to cause the drive to enter Sleep Mode. The drive is spun down, and when it is stopped, BSY is cleared, an interrupt is generated, and the interface becomes inactive. The only way to recover from Sleep mode is with a software reset or a hardware reset.
NOTE: The use of hardware reset to recover from Sleep mode may be incompatible with continued operation of the host system.

A drive shall not power on in Sleep Mode nor remain in Sleep Mode following a reset sequence. If the drive is already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed.

7.1.11 Standby Immediate

This command causes the drive to enter the Standby Mode. The drive may return the interrupt before the transition to Standby Mode is completed. If the drive has already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed. For Standby immediate the drive may return the interrupt before the transition to Standby Mode is completed. For Sleep, the drive may return the interrupt before the transition to Sleep Mode is completed.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Model

8.0 CD-ROM Model

CD-ROM devices permit reading data from a rotating media. Writing the media is not currently supported, but will be in the future (CD-WO and CD-MO). Data transfer can begin with any of the consecutively numbered logical blocks. Data on CD-ROM devices is addressed the same as for (magnetic) direct-access devices. Some CD-ROM devices support a separate information stream (e.g. audio and/or video but referred to as audio in this Section) transmitted via a connection other than the AT Bus. This specication denes commands for controlling these other information streams for CDROM devices. CD-ROM drives are designed to work with any disc that meets IEC. Many new drives read CD-ROM data discs, digital audio discs, and audio-combined discs (i.e. some tracks are audio, some tracks are data).

8.1 New Capabilities Since the SCSI-2 Standardization

Unfortunately, the introduction of Photo CDs (with multiple sessions), CD-ROM XA Format (two different format modes), and CD-I has occurred after the standardization effort. In addition, the SCSI standard did not provide a method to return the CD-DA data. As is characteristic with new functionality, each vendor has devised their own solutions. This ATAPI Proposal has taken the Common Command Set (CCS) approach to the problem and created a minimal mandatory command set that includes capabilities that are currently addressed by the DRAFT SCSI-3 Multi-media Command standard (MMC).

8.2 CD-ROM Media Organization

The formats written on the CD-ROM and CD-DA (Digital Audio) media require special interfacing considerations.
NOTE This subsection contains a number of terms that have special meanings peculiar to CD-ROM technology or that may be unfamiliar to many readers of this Specication. The glossary denes these terms.

Discs may contain either audio, data or a mixture of the two. "Table 25 - Example Mixed Mode CD-ROM Disc Layout" on page 72 gives an example of an audio-combined disc to illustrate the relationship between the logical block addresses reported and the MSF address encoded on the media.
NOTE: The term frame is used in two different ways in the CD-ROM media standard. The intended meaning can only be determined from the context. Whenever possible, this description replaces the larger data unit with the more familiar term sector. The primary exception to this policy is the use of frame when referring to the MSF address. In the MSF context, one frame (F eld unit) equals one sector. On a typical two channel CD-DA media, each frame (F eld unit) is played in 1/75th of a second.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Model

The physical format dened by the CD-ROM media standards provides 2352 bytes per sector. For usual computer data applications, 2048 bytes are used for user data, 12 bytes for a synchronization eld, 4 bytes for a sector address tag eld and 288 bytes - the auxiliary eld - for L-EC (CD-ROM data mode 1). In less critical applications, the auxiliary eld may also be used for user data (CD-ROM data Mode 2 / Form 2).

Yellow Book Mode 1 Yellow Book Mode 2

The table of contents gives the absolute MSF location of the rst information sector of each track. Control information (audio/data, method of audio encoding, etc.) for each track is also given in the TOC. However, the TOC does not distinguish between the different modes of data tracks (i.e. CD-ROM Data Mode 1 vs. CD-ROM Data Mode 2). The MSF locations of the beginning of data tracks in the TOC are required to be accurate; however, the TOC values for audio tracks have a tolerance of plus or minus 75 sectors. Information from the TOC can be used to reply to a READ CD-ROM CAPACITY command. When this is done, the drive implementor shall consider the possible tolerances and return a value that allows access to all information sectors. An index is a partition of a track. Pre-gap areas are encoded with an index value of zero. Pause areas at the beginning of audio tracks are also encoded with an index value of zero. The rst information sector of a track has an index value of one. Consecutive values up to 99 are permitted. Index information is not contained in the TOC. Not all sectors are encoded with the index value in the Q-sub-channel data (the requirement is 9 out of 10). A sector without an index value is presumed to have the same index as the preceding sector. Tracks and indexes are not dened to be any particular length, (except for a minimum track length of 300 sectors.) A CD disc may be created with a single information track that has a single index; or with 99 information tracks, each with 99 indexes. The sub-channel information which is part of each sector includes a track relative MSF location value giving the distance from the rst information sector of the track. On the media, this value decreases during the pre-gap area (sectors with index values of 0) and increases for the rest of the track. The data, returned by the READ SUB-CHANNEL command with MSF bit set to zero, converts this to a track relative logical block address (TRLBA). The TRLBA is continualPage 74 working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Model

ly increasing over the whole track, and pre-gap areas shall return negative values. When the MSF bit in the read subchannel command is set to one, the MSF track relative location value from the media is reported without change. Note: The purpose of accessing MSF addresses less than 00M 02S 00F is to retrieve information, such as packet size, from incrementally written discs. This information exists in the track descriptor block in the pre-gap area. Users can read this information by scanning the area between 00M 01S 00F to 00M 02S 00F. While the media may contain multiple redundant copies of the pre-gap data, the device shall only return one copy. The drive may not be able to read 00M 00S 00F since there is no Sub-Q information before this frame. Refer to CD-ROM Orange book for additional details.

8.3 CD-ROM Physical Data Format

The physical format of CD-ROM and CD-DA media uses a smaller unit of synchronization than the more familiar magnetic or optical recording systems. The basic data stream synchronization unit is a small frame. This is not the same large frame (sector) as referred to in the MSF unit. Each small frame consists of 588 bits. A sector on CD-ROM media consists of 98 small frames. A CD-ROM small frame consists of: 1. 2. 3. 4. 1 synchronization pattern (24+3 bits) 1 byte of sub-channel data (14+3 bits) 24 bytes of data (24 x (14+3) bits) 8 bytes of CIRC code (8 x (14+3) bits) Total: 588 bits.

Data, sub-channel and CIRC bytes are encoded with an 8-bit to 14-bit code; then three merging bits are added. The merging bits are chosen to provide minimum low-frequency signal content and optimize phase lock loop performance.

8.3.1 Frame Format for Audio

Each small frame of an audio track on a two-channel CD-DA or CD-ROM media consists of six digitized 16-bit samples of each audio channel. These 24 bytes of data are combined with a synchronization pattern, CIRC bytes and a sub-channel byte to make a frame. Each frame takes approximately 136.05 s to play. This gives a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz for each channel. The sub-channel information creates the higher level sector grouping for audio tracks.

8.3.2 Sector Format for Data

The data bytes of 98 small frames comprise the physical unit of data referred to as a sector. (98 small frames times 24 bytes per small frame equals 2352 bytes of data per sector.) A sector that contains CD-ROM Data Mode 1 data has the following format: 1. 2. 12-byte synchronization eld 4-byte CD-ROM data header Absolute M eld Absolute S eld Absolute F eld CD-ROM data mode eld 3. 2048-byte user data eld

CD-ROM Model CD-ROM Physical Data Format

A sector that contains CD-ROM Data Mode 2 data has the following format: 1. 2. 12-byte synchronization eld 4-byte CD-ROM data header Absolute M eld Absolute S eld Absolute F eld CD-ROM data mode eld 3. 2336-byte user data eld (2048 bytes of mode 1 data plus 288 bytes of auxiliary data)

NOTE Many drives are capable of returning CD-ROM data mode one data in a CD-ROM data mode two format. This allows the user to investigate the error detection and error correction codes. However data encoded as CD-ROM data mode two cannot be read as CD-ROM data mode one data.

8.3.3 Sub-channel Information Formats

The sub-channel byte of each frame is assigned one bit for each of the 8 sub-channels, designated P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W. Sub-channel P is a simple ag bit that may be used for audio muting control and track boundary determination. Sub-channel Q has a higher level of structure. All the sub-channel Q bits of a sector dene the sub-channel Q information block. (For audio tracks, decoding the Q sub-channel is the only way to distinguish sector boundaries.) The sub-channel Q block consists of 98 bits, one bit from each small frame in a sector. Three formats are dened for the sub-channel Q information block. The rst format provides location information and is dened as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 2-bit sub-channel synchronization eld 4-bit ADR eld (denes the format) 4-bit control eld (denes the type of information in this sector) 8-bit track number 8-bit index number 24-bit track relative MSF address 8 bits Reserved (0) 24-bit Absolute MSF address 16-bit CRC error detection code

This format is required to exist in at least nine out of ten consecutive sectors.

Page 76

working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Model

The second and third formats are optional. If used, they shall exist in at least one out of 100 consecutive sectors. They include the absolute frame byte of the MSF address to provide location information continuity. The second format gives the catalogue number of the disc (UPC/EAN bar code number). This information is constant over the whole media. The third format gives the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) for each track. The ISRC is dened in ISO 3901. This format is not present on lead-in or lead-out tracks and may change only after the track number changes.

8.4 CD Audio Error Reporting

PLAY AUDIO commands with the immediate bit set in the audio control mode return status as soon as the command has been validated (which may involve a seek to the starting address). The playback operation continues and may complete without notication to the Host Computer. Error termination of audio operations shall be reported to the Host Computer by returning immediate CHECK CONDITION status to the next command (except for REQUEST SENSE and INQUIRY.) The deferred error sense data is used to indicate that the error is not due to the current command. The status of the play operation may be determined by issuing a REQUEST SENSE command. The sense key is set to NO SENSE and the audio status is reported in the additional sense code qualier eld.

8.5 CD-ROM Ready Condition/Not Ready Condition

The ready condition occurs after a cartridge is inserted and the drive has performed its initialization tasks. These may include reading the table of contents from the media. This Ready is different from and shall not be confused with the ATA Ready Status. A check condition status will be returned for the not ready condition only for commands that require or imply a disc access. A not ready condition may occur for the following reasons: 1. 2. 3. There is no cartridge inserted. The drive is unable to load or unload the cartridge. The drive is unable to recover the table of contents.

The drive shall spin up and make the disc ready for media accesses when a new disc is detected. Any media access that occurs when the drive is not spinning shall spin the drive up and not generate an error.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Model

An MSF bit of one requests that the MSF format be used for these elds. In certain transition areas, the relative MSF addresses are decreasing positive values. The absolute MSF addresses are always increasing positive values.The M, S, and F elds are expressed as binary numbers. Sensing Support for CD-Audio Commands If any commands related to audio operations are implemented, then all the AUDIO commands shall be implemented. To allow a method for the Host Computer to determine if audio operations are supported, an ATAPI CD-ROM Drive responding to a PLAY AUDIO command which has a transfer length of zero, with CHECK CONDITION status, and setting the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST does not support audio operations.

8.7 Error Reporting

If any of the following conditions occur during the execution of a command, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall return CHECK CONDITION status. The appropriate sense key and additional sense code shall be set. The following list illustrates some error conditions and the applicable sense keys. The list does not provide an exhaustive enumeration of all conditions that may cause the CHECK CONDITION status.

In the case of an invalid logical block address, the sense data information eld shall be set to the logical block address of the rst invalid address. In the case of an attempt to read a blank or previously unwritten block, the sense data information eld shall be set to the logical block address of the rst blank block encountered. The data read up to that block shall be transferred. There are other special error situations for CD-ROM devices. In the following cases the sense key shall be set to ILLEGIAL REQUEST and the additional sense code set to END OF USER AREA ENCOUNTERED ON THIS TRACK: 1. 2. 3. a post-gap area is encountered (i.e. a block with CD-ROM Data Mode 0); a pre-gap area is encountered (i.e. a block with index equal to 0); The information type (Data Mode vs. Audio etc.) changes.

When not performing audio playback, if the logical block address requested is not within a data track, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGIAL REQUEST and the additional sense code set to ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK. This applies to audio-combined and audio media.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Changer Model

9.0 Changer Model

A changer device will perform exactly like a single ATAPI CD-ROM drive. However it will support two (2) new commands, MECHANISM STATUS (BDh) and LOAD/UNLOAD CD (A6h). A changer device provides a storage area for more than one CD Disc. This storage area contains multiple areas called slots. Each slot can contain just one Disc. Once a Disc has been placed in to a given slot, it becomes locked in that position. This specication provides no capability to move a Disc from one slot to another. Thus when a Disc has been moved from a given slot into the playing position, it can only be moved back into the slot that it came from. This shall be followed even if power is lost while a Disc is in the playing position or while it was being moved. There are two basic types of changer mechanisms, one that has individually addressable eject and load capability and another that uses a cartridge to hold the discs. In the former, individual disc can be changed, while in the later all the stored discs must be changed at one time. Any time a Disc/Cartridge is removed or installed from the changer, the device shall generate an Unit Attention Condition. After the host detects the unit attention on a known changer device, the host may issue a MECHANISM STATUS Command. This will provide the host with information on what disc is present or was changed.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication Changer Model 9.2 Changer Addressing

Several Changer specic commands use addresses called Slots. If any commands related to Changer operations are implemented, then all the Changer commands shall be implemented. To determine if an ATAPI Drive is a changer type device, the Loading Mechanism Type eld in the Capabilities page will contain one of the two changer type code (See "10.8.6.4 CD-ROM Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page" on page 118) for individual disc or cartridge implementations.

9.3 Automatic Load and Unload Operations

After initialization is complete the changer shall have Disc 0 loaded into the play position. This enables drivers which are not changer aware to work with a changer device as if it were a normal single Disc ATAPI CD-ROM device. This also insures compatibility with Bootable CD. In support of this goal the changer shall also load and unload (Eject) default Disc 0 if the changer supports loading and unloading (Ejecting) individual Discs unless otherwise commanded by the use of one of the changer specic Load/Unload command. When a LOAD Command is received and a Disc is present in the Playing position, it shall be unloaded automatically before the specied Load operation is performed.

9.4 Delayed Disc load operation

CD Changer Devices may either move a disc into the playing position immediately upon receipt of a LOAD command, or delay the loading of the disc until a media access command is received. It is recommended that the device not load discs into the playing position until data from a disc that is not cached is requested from the host. Note that Host Drivers should expect to encounter load mechanism delays on media accesses in addition to the spin up and seek delays normally introduced with these commands. If the device supports delayed loading and the selected disc is not in the play position, then the following commands shall move the selected disc into the play position When data that has not been cached has been requested by the host:

Note that changer devices that use a Cartridge and not individually controlled slots should not report the Software Slot Selection capability.

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:57 pm 10.2 ATAPI Command Packet Description

CD-ROM Packet Commands ATAPI Command Packet Description

An ATAPI command is communicated by sending a Command Packet to the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive. For several commands, the Command Packet is accompanied by a list of parameters sent upon receiving an interrupt following the Command Packet being sent. See the specic commands for detailed information. The Command Packet always has an operation code as its rst byte. For all commands, if there is an invalid parameter in the Command Packet, then the ATAPI Device shall abort the command without altering the medium.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Packet Commands 10.2.1 Operation Code

The operation code of the Command Packet has a group code eld and a command code eld. The three-bit group code eld provides for eight groups of command codes. The ve-bit command code eld provides for thirty-two command codes in each group. Thus, a total of 256 possible operation codes exist. Operation codes are dened in the subsequent sections.

Table 36 - Operation Code

Bit 7 6
Group Code

2
Command Code

Note that the Group / Command code elds have been kept for backward compatibility and are not used by ATAPI.

10.2.2 Logical Block Address

The logical block address shall begin with block zero and be contiguous up to the last logical block.

10.2.3 Transfer Length

The Transfer Length Field species the amount of data to be transferred, usually the number of blocks. For several commands the transfer length indicates the requested number of bytes to be sent as dened in the command description. For these commands the Transfer Length Field may be identied by a different name. See the following descriptions and the individual command descriptions for further information. In commands that use multiple bytes for the transfer length, a transfer length of zero indicates that no data transfer shall take place. A value of one or greater indicates the number of blocks that shall be transferred.

10.2.4 Parameter List Length

The Parameter List Length is used to specify the number of bytes to be sent to the Drive. This eld is typically used in Command Packets for parameters that are sent to a Drive (e.g. mode parameters, diagnostic parameters, etc.). A parameter length of zero indicates that no data shall be transferred.

10.2.5 Allocation Length

The Allocation Length Field species the maximum number of bytes that a Host Computer has allocated for returned data. An allocation length of zero indicates that no data shall be transferred. The Drive shall terminate the data transfer when allocation length bytes have been transferred or when all available data have been transferred to the Host Computer, whichever is less. The allocation length is used to limit the maximum amount of data (e.g. sense data, mode data, etc.) returned to a Host Computer. When data is truncated, no error is generated, except for the Mechanism Status Command that shall generate a Parameter List Length Error.

10.3 Status
A Status byte shall be sent from the Drive to the Host Computer at the completion of each command unless the command is terminated by one of the following events: 1. 2. A hard reset condition. An unexpected event.

working draft ATAPI

Page 89

Revision 2.6 Proposed January 22, 1996 2:57 pm

CD-ROM Packet Commands Immediate Command Processing Considerations

Status is normally presented at the end of a command, but in some cases may occur prior to transferring the Command Packet. For a description of the Status Byte see "Table 11 - ATAPI Status Register (ATA Status Register)" on page 55.

10.4 Immediate Command Processing Considerations

Immediate commands are a class of commands which return completion status to the host system before they are nished executing the command. The purpose of immediate commands is to allow the host to execute more than one command at a time on the same IDE cable. An example of a typical overlapped cd-rom command execution would be to Play audio while accessing data from a disk drive on the same cable. In this example the host system would issue a Play Audio command. The ATAPI CD-Rom device would accept the command, and interrupt the host to return status. The host system is now free to issue additional commands to any other device at the same IDE port address including the ATAPI device executing the immediate command. ATAPI devices use the DSC bit to indicate the completion status of the seek operation of immediate commands. No INTRQ is issued by these device when the DSC bit is set, so it the responsibility of the ATAPI driver to poll this bit to determine the completion status of the immediate command. See also"5.6 Immediate Command Operation" on page 23.

10.5 Command Processing Considerations and Exception Conditions

The following sections describe some exception conditions and errors associated with command processing and the sequencing of commands.

10.5.1 Parameter Rounding

Certain parameters sent to an ATAPI CD-ROM Drive with various commands contain a range of values. ATAPI CDROM Drives may choose to implement only selected values from this range. When the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive receives a value that it does not support, it either rejects the command (CHECK CONDITION status with ILLEGAL REQUEST sense key) or it rounds the value received to a supported value. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall reject unsupported values unless rounding is permitted in the description of the parameter. Rounding of parameter values, when permitted1, shall be performed as follows - An ATAPI CD-ROM Drive that receives a parameter value that is not an exact supported value shall adjust the value to one that it supports and shall return CHECK CONDITION status with a sense key of RECOVERED ERROR. The additional sense code shall be set to ROUNDED PARAMETER. The Host Computer is responsible for issuing an appropriate command to learn what value the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive has selected.

10.6 Unit Attention Condition

The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall generate a unit attention whenever the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive has been reset by a hard reset condition, or by a power-on reset. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall also generate a unit attention condition whenever one of the following events occurs: 1. 2. A removable Disc or Cartridge may have been changed. The version or level of microcode has been changed.

1. Generally, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive should adjust maximum-value fields down to the next lower supported value than the one specified by the Host Computer. Minimum-value fields should be rounded up to the next higher supported value than the one specified by the Host Computer. In some cases, the type of rounding (up or down) is explicitly specified in the description of the parameter. Page 90 working draft ATAPI

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication CD-ROM Packet Commands

3. 4. 5. 6. INQUIRY or Packet Identify Drive Data has been changed. The mode parameters in effect for the Host Computer have been restored from non-volatile memory. Any other event occurs that requires the attention of the Host Computer. Any Disc or Cartridge has been manually moved within a Changer.

The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may queue unit attention conditions. After the rst unit attention condition is cleared, another unit attention condition may exist (e.g. a power on condition followed by a microcode change condition). The unit attention condition shall persist, until the Host Computer clears the condition as described in the following paragraphs. If an INQUIRY command is received from an Host Computer with a pending unit attention condition, the ATAPI CDROM Drive shall perform the INQUIRY command and shall not clear the unit attention condition. If a REQUEST SENSE command is received from a Host Computer with a pending unit attention condition, then the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall either: 1. 2. report any pending sense data and preserve the unit attention condition, or, report the unit attention condition, may discard any pending sense data, and clear the unit attention condition.

If an Host Computer issues a command other than INQUIRY or REQUEST SENSE while a unit attention condition exists for that Host, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall not perform the command and shall report CHECK CONDITION status unless a higher priority status as dened by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive is also pending (e.g. BUSY).

10.7 Commands and Parameters

The ATAPI CD-ROM commands are derived from the SCSI CD-ROM command set. With the exception of the CD-ROM MSF addressing technique, the interface uses logical rather than physical addressing for all data blocks. Each Device may be interrogated to determine how many blocks it contains. Commands are classied as mandatory, optional, or vendor-specic. ATAPI CD-ROM drives are required to implement all mandatory commands and may implement other commands as well. ATAPI CD-ROM Drives contain commands that facilitate the writing of self-conguring software drivers that can discover all necessary attributes without prior knowledge of specic peripheral characteristics (such as storage capacity).

If delayed loading of a disc into the playing position is supported, the device SHALL have previously cached the TOC data from that disc. If the device has not read the TOC for a disc that is being loaded into the playing position, then delayed loading SHALL not be performed and the disc SHALL be loaded into the playing position immediately. If Caching of TOC data has been performed and the loading of the Disc into the playing position is delayed, then the drive SHALL report that the Disc is ready, even though the Disc is not spinning and installed in the playing position. In all cases the behavior seen by the host (other than a longer subsequent media access latency) shall not be different between delayed and immediate loading of a disc. Note that an UNIT ATTENTION Condition shall not be generated when discs are loaded or unloaded from the playing position.

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication MECHANISM STATUS Command 10.8.3 MECHANISM STATUS Command
The MECHANISM STATUS command requests that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive respond with the current status of the CD Device, including any Changer Mechanism that adheres to this specication. This command is intended to provide information to the Host about the current operational state of the Device. The CD Devices take operational direction from both the Host and the user (Person). Movement of media in/out of the device as well as Play type operations are at the whim of the user. This command has been provided to allow the Host to know what as transpired at the user level.

A Save Pages (SP) bit of zero indicates the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall perform the specied MODE SELECT operation, and shall not save any pages. An SP bit of one indicates that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall perform the specied MODE SELECT operation, and shall save to a non-volatile vendor-specic location all the savable pages. If an ATAPI CD-ROM Drive supports saved pages, it shall save only one copy of the page. The SP bit is optional, even when mode pages are supported by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive. Pages that are saved are identied by the parameter savable bit that is returned in the page header by the MODE SENSE command. If the PS bit is set in the MODE SENSE data then the page shall be savable by issuing a MODE SELECT command with the SP bit set. If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive does not implement saved pages and the SP bit is set to one, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the additional sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN COMMAND PACKET. The Parameter List Length eld species the length in bytes of the mode parameter list that shall be transferred from the Host Computer to the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive after the Command Packet is transferred. A parameter list length of zero indicates that no data shall be transferred. This condition shall not be considered as an error. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION status if the parameter list length results in the truncation of any mode parameter header, or mode page. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the additional sense code shall be set to PARAMETER LIST LENGTH ERROR. The mode parameter list for the MODE SELECT and MODE SENSE commands is dened in "10.8.6 Mode Select/ Sense Parameters" on page 108. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall terminate the MODE SELECT command with CHECK CONDITION status, set the sense key to ILLEGAL REQUEST, set the additional sense code to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST, and shall not change any mode parameters for the following conditions: 1. If the Host Computer sets any eld (except for reserved elds) that is reported as not changeable by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive to a value other than its current value.

If an Host Computer sends a mode page with a page length not equal to the page length returned by the MODE SENSE command for that page. If the Host Computer sends an unsupported value for a mode parameter and rounding is not implemented for that mode parameter.

If the Host Computer sends a value for a mode parameter that is outside the range supported by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive and rounding is implemented for that mode parameter, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may either: 1. 2. round the parameter to an acceptable value and terminate the command; terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION status, the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST, and set the additional sense code to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST.

An ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may alter any mode parameter in any mode page (even those reported as non-changeable) as a result of changes to other mode parameters1. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive validates the non-changeable mode parameters against the current values that existed for those mode parameters prior to the MODE SELECT command.

al sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN COMMAND PACKET. Mode page 00h, if implemented, shall be returned after all other mode pages.

10.8.5.1 Current Values

A PC eld value of 0h requests that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive return the current values of the mode parameters. The current values returned are: 1. 2. 3. the current values of the mode parameters established by last successful MODE SELECT command. the saved values of the mode parameters if a MODE SELECT command has not successfully completed since the last power-on, hard RESET condition. the default values of the mode parameters, if saved values, are not available or not supported.

10.8.5.2 Changeable Values

A PC eld value of 1h requests that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive return a mask denoting those mode parameters that are changeable. In the mask, the elds of the mode parameters that are changeable shall be set to all one bits and the elds of the mode parameters that are non-changeable (i.e. dened by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive) shall be set to all zero bits. An attempt to change a non-changeable mode parameter (via MODE SELECT) results in an error condition. . The Host Computer shall issue a MODE SENSE command with the PC eld set to 1h and the Page Code eld set to 3Fh to determine which mode pages are supported, which mode parameters within the mode pages are changeable, and the supported length of each mode page prior to issuing any MODE SELECT commands.

10.8.5.3 Default Values

A PC eld value of 2h requests that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive return the default values of the mode parameters. Parameters not supported by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall be set to zero. Default values are accessible even if the device is not ready.

10.8.5.4 Saved Values

A PC eld value of 3h requests that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive return the saved values of the mode parameters. Implementation of saved page parameters is optional. Mode parameters not supported by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall be set to zero. If saved values are not implemented, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status, the sense key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional sense code set to SAVING PARAMETERS NOT SUPPORTED. The method of saving parameters is vendor-specic. The parameters are preserved in such a manner that they are retained when the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive is powered down. All savable pages can be considered saved when a MODE SELECT command issued with the SP bit set to one has returned a good status.
Note: As CD-ROM devices do not have writable media and the media is removable, most will not support Saved Values. It is recommended that the Host software not make use of saved pages.

10.8.5.5 Initial Responses

After a power-up condition or hard reset condition, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall respond in the following manner: 1. If default values are requested, report the default values.

2. If saved values are requested, report valid restored mode parameters, or restore the mode parameters and report them. If the saved values of the mode parameters are not able to be accessed from the non-volatile, vendorspecic location, terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION status and set the sense key set to NOT READY. If saved parameters are not implemented, respond as dened in "10.8.5.4 Saved Values" on page 106.

If current values are requested and the current values of the mode parameters have not been sent by the Host Computer (via a MODE SELECT command), the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may return either the default or saved values as dened above. If current values have been sent, the current values shall be reported.

The Output Port Volume Control indicates the relative volume level for this audio output port. The value used is specied as an attenuation of the normal volume level. A value of zero indicates the minimum volume level (Mute), and a value of FFh indicates maximum volume (No attenuation) level. It is recommended that the MUTE and volume functions should be supported on a per channel basis. The attenuation used shall be as specied in "Table 62 - Attenuation Levels for Audio". All values not shown in the table shall be valid, with the attenuation selected by interpolating using the known table values. It is recommended that the Drive support at least 16 volume levels. The actual attenuation levels for any given Binary attenuation value shall be given by the following equation: 20 Log (Binary Level / 256)
Note: Audio channel volume control regarding channel selection of MUTE vs. Volume Level setting of 0.

The Parameters Savable (PS) bit is only used with the MODE SENSE command. This bit is reserved with the MODE SELECT command. A PS bit of one indicates that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive is capable of saving the page in a nonvolatile vendor-specic location. The PS bit is optional.
NOTE The implementation of error recovery procedures for CD-ROM devices is markedly different from those used for magnetic medium disk drives. At least one level of error correction (i.e. CIRC) is required to transfer the data stream. Therefore, the performance of the drive may differ substantially from what would be expected by sending the same error recovery parameters to a magnetic medium device.

A Transfer Block (TB) bit of one indicates that a data block that is not recovered within the recovery limits specied, shall be transferred to the Host Computer before CHECK CONDITION status is returned. A TB bit of zero indicates that such a data block shall not be transferred to the Host Computer. The TB bit does not affect the action taken for recovered data. A Read Continuous (RC) bit of one indicates that the CD-ROM drive shall transfer the entire requested length of data without adding delays to perform error recovery procedures. This implies that the CD-ROM drive may send data that is erroneous or fabricated in order to maintain a continuous ow of data. A RC bit of zero indicates that error recovery operations that cause delays are acceptable during the data transfer. A Post Error (PER) bit of one indicates that the CD-ROM drive shall report recovered errors. A PER bit of zero indicates that the CD-ROM drive shall not report recovered errors. Error recovery procedures shall be performed within the limits established by the error recovery parameters. A Disable Transfer on Error (DTE) bit of one indicates that the CD-ROM drive shall terminate the data transfer to the Host upon detection of a recovered error. A DTE bit of zero indicates that the CD-ROM drive shall not terminate the data transfer upon detection of a recovered error. A Disable Correction (DCR) bit of one indicates that error correction codes shall not be used for data error recovery. A DCR bit of zero allows the use of error correction codes for data error recovery. The correlation of the error recovery parameter and the bit settings dened for CD-ROM devices is given in "Table 66 Error Recovery Bit Settings" on page 115. The interpretation of these bit settings for CD-ROM devices is given in "Table 67 - CD-ROM Error Recovery Descriptions" on page 115. If the error recovery parameter is set to any other value, the

This command responds with immediate status, allowing overlapped commands. This command shall set the DSC bit upon command completion. See also "10.4 Immediate Command Processing Considerations" on page 90. The Starting M eld, the Starting S eld, and the Starting F eld specify the absolute MSF address at which the audio play operation shall begin. The Ending M eld, the Ending S eld, and the Ending F eld specify the absolute MSF address where the audio play operation shall end. All contiguous audio sectors between the starting and the ending MSF address shall be played. If the Starting Minutes, Seconds and Frame Fields are set to FFh, the Starting address is taken from the Current Optical Head location. This allows the Audio Ending address to be changed without interrupting the current playback operation. A Starting MSF address equal to an ending MSF address causes no audio play operation to occur. This shall not be considered an error. If the Starting MSF address is greater than the Ending MSF address, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST. If the starting address is not found, if the address is not within an audio track, or if a not ready condition exists, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status.

The READ CD-ROM CAPACITY command provides a means for the Host Computer to request information regarding the capacity of the Device. The general function of the CD-ROM version of READ CAPACITY is the same but the exact denition of the returned logical block address is modied to allow returning a possibly inexact value (but one with a known error boundary) based on CD-ROM table of contents data. This error boundary occurs when the last track is an audio track, and could cause the last block to be +/- 75 sectors from the actual end of the track. This error is a tolerance in the addressing of Audio data built into the Media specications for CD-ROM. For many CD-ROM devices, this implementation allows a quicker response.

The READ CD command (Family) provides one standard, universal way of accessing CD data. Rather than breaking the types of data into several related commands, this command is generic to all CD data types. This command returns any of the CD data streams, including the headers, EDC and ECC, ROM data and CD-DA data. Each type of data is enabled via the use of ags. These ags indicate which information from the CD is to be returned in the data stream. If a flag is cleared, then that particular information will not be returned. If all the ags are cleared, no data will be returned to the host and this condition is not treated as an error.

Description
No Error information will be included in the data stream. The C2 Error Flag (Pointer) bits (2352 bits or 294 bytes) will be included in the data stream. When the C2 Error pointer bits are included in the data stream, there will be one bit for each byte in error in the sector (2352 total). The bit ordering is from the most signicant bit to the least signicant bit in each byte. The rst bytes in the sector will be the rst bits/bytes in the data stream. Both the C2 Error Flags (2352 bits or 294 bytes) and the Block Error Byte will be included in the data stream. The Block Error byte is the OR of all the C2 Error Flag bytes. So that the data stream will always be an even number of bytes, the Block Error byte will be padded with a byte (undened). The Block Error byte will be rst in the data stream followed by the pad byte. Reserved for future enhancement.

The lengths of the data returned from the READ CD command vary based on the type of sector that is being read and the requested elds to be returned to the Host. Many combinations are possible, but most are not very useful. Table 99, Number of Bytes Returned Based on Data Selection Field, on page 147 species how the drive responds to many of the requests possible. Requests for transfers not specied by this table shall not be supported and treated as Illegal. Illegal values will cause the command to be aborted with a CHECK Condition, Sense Key 05, ASC 24 (INVALID FIELD IN COMMAND PACKET). The Values in () indicate that the amount of data is the same as the Flag byte setting specied by the contents of the parenthesis. Values that are shaded are most useful to the host and shall return the number of bytes specied if supported.

If the CD-ROM Drive does not support the CD-DA Stream-Is-Accurate capability (See "10.8.6.4 CD-ROM Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page" on page 118) then the Digital Audio data must be read as a continuous stream. If while streaming the drive must stop, there will be a non-recoverable error generated (Sense Key 0Bh ABORTED Command, Sense Code BFh LOSS OF STREAMING). This is due to the 1 second uncertainty of the address (There is no header in CD-DA Data). Reissuing the command may not return exactly the same data as the previous try. When the drive supports the Stream Accurate capability, there will be no error, only some time delay for rotational latency.

Drives that can not return P or Q code with PACK data will return 0 in the unsupported P or Q bits. Each PACK is generated after 2 contiguous Sub Channel data frames consisting of 24 bytes with 6 bits of PACK data per byte.Each 96 byte Packet consists of 4 PACKs of 24 bytes each. The basic RAW format is shown in "Figure 14 - Read CD Sub-channel, R-W (100b)" on page 151. The data is synchronized with the subcode synch patterns S0 and S1. Each group of 6 bits (R-W) is called a symbol. The symbol following the synchs S0 and S1 is the rst symbol of the rst pack in a packet. The packs following the sync bytes in R~W data must be from the same block and in chronological order. To guard the data in the subcoding channels R-W, a (24,20) Reed-Solomon Error Correction Code is used. To improve the burst error correction capability, eight-way interleaving is added to this error correction system. The rst two symbols in a pack have additional protection with a (4,2) Read-Solomon Error Correction Code. The rst symbol of a pack contains a mode-switch of 3 bits and a 3-bit subdivision of mode, called item. The dened mode-item

The READ CD command (Family) provides one standard, universal way of accessing CD data. Rather than breaking the types of data into several related commands, this command is generic to all CD data types. This command returns any of the CD data streams, including the headers, EDC and ECC, ROM data and CD-DA data. Each type of data is enabled via the use of ags. These ags indicate which information from the CD is to be returned in the data stream. If a ag is cleared, then that particular information will not be returned. If all the ags are cleared, no data will be returned to the host and this condition is not treated as an error.

The Ending M eld, the Ending S eld, and the Ending F eld specify the absolute MSF address where the Read operation shall end. All contiguous sectors between the starting and the ending MSF address shall be read. A starting MSF address equal to an ending MSF address prevents a read operation. This shall not be considered an error. If the starting MSF address is greater than the ending MSF address, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST. If the starting address is not found, or if a not ready condition exists, the command shall be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status.

Description

The Sub-channel Data Length species the length in bytes of the following sub-channel data block. A sub-channel data length of zero indicates that no sub-channel data block is included in the returned data. Sub-channel data length does not include the sub channel header. The Sub-Q Channel Data Block consists of control data (bytes 4 - 5), current position data (bytes 6 - 15) and identication data (bytes 16 - 47). The control data and current position data is obtained from the Q sub-channel information of the current block. Identication data may be reported that was obtained from a previous block. If identication data is reported, the data shall be valid for the sector addressed by the current position data. 1. 2. If an play operation is proceeding in the background, position data for the last sector played shall be reported. In other cases, for instance after a READ command, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may either report position data for the last sector processed for that operation or may report position data from the sector at the current read head position.

The ADR eld gives the type of information encoded in the Q sub-channel of this block, as shown in the following table.

The Track Number eld species the track from which ISRC data is read. This eld must have a value between 01h and 63h and is valid only when the sub-channel data format eld is 03h. In this case, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive returns ISRC data for this track. The Index Number species the index number in the current track. The Absolute CD-ROM Address eld gives the current location relative to the logical beginning of the media. If the MSF bit is zero, this eld is a logical block address. If the MSF bit is one, this eld is an absolute MSF address. The Track Relative CD-ROM Address eld gives the current location relative to the logical beginning of the current track. If the MSF bit is zero, this eld is a track relative logical block address. (If the current block is in the pre-gap area of a track, this will be a negative value, expressed as a twos-complement number.) If the MSF bit is one, this eld is the relative MSF address from the Q sub-channel.

A Media Catalogue Valid (MCVal) bit of one indicates that the media catalogue number eld is valid. A MCVal bit of zero indicates that the media catalogue number eld is not valid. The Media Catalogue Number eld contains the identifying number of this media according to the uniform product code values (UPC/EAN bar coding) expressed in ASCII. Non-zero values in this eld are controlled by the Uniform Product Code Council1) and the European Article Number Council2. A value in this eld of all ASCII zeros indicates that the media catalog number is not supplied. If media catalogue number data is found, the MCVal bit is set to one. If MCN data is not detected, the MCVal bit is set to zero to indicate the Media Catalogue Number eld is invalid. Media catalogue number data returned by this command with sub-channel data format eld code 02h may be from any block that has UPC bar code Q sub-channel data. (This code is constant anywhere in every applicable disc.) The CD-ROM Drive may either return the UPC information that it has previously read (Cached data) or may scan for the information. As the UPC is only guaranteed to be contained in 1 out of 100 sectors and errors may be encountered, the time required to return the UPC data could be several seconds.

If ISRC data is detected, the TCVal bit is set to one. If ISRC data is not detected, the TCVal bit is set to zero to indicate the ISRC eld is invalid. Track ISRC data returned by this command with sub-channel data format eld 03h may be from any block in the specied track that has ISRC data. When ADR eld is 3 (0011), it is used to assign a unique number to an audio track. This is done by means of the ISRC which is 12 characters long (represented by I1 to I12.)

The TOC Data Block contains a four-byte header followed by zero or more TOC track descriptors. The TOC Data Length species the length in bytes of the following TOC data that is available to be transferred to the Host. The TOC Data Length Value does not include the TOC Data Length eld itself. The First Track Number eld indicates the rst track number in the table of contents. Valid track numbers are from 01d to 99d (63h). The Last Track Number eld indicates the last track number in the table of contents before the lead-out track number. The First Track Number is not required to be one. A disc may start at any valid track number. The track numbers between the First Track Number and the Last Track Number are required to be in contiguous ascending order, except for the lead-out track. The ADR eld gives the type of information encoded in the Q sub-channel of the block where this TOC entry was found. The possible ADR values are dened in "Table 117 - ADR Sub-channel Q Field" on page 163. The Control eld indicates the attributes of the track. The possible Control eld values are dened in "Table 133 - Values for Control Field in Sub-channel Q" on page 176. The Track Number eld indicates the track number for which the data in the TOC track descriptor is valid. A track number of 0AAh indicates that the track descriptor is for the start of the lead-out area.

The Absolute CD-ROM Address contains the address of the rst block with user information for that track number as read from the table of contents. If the MSF bit in the READ TOC is zero, the absolute CD-ROM address eld contains a logical block address. If the MSF bit is one, the absolute CD-ROM address eld contains an MSF address. The Starting Logical Block Address Value recovered from the TOC has a tolerance of zero for data tracks and plus or minus 75 CD sectors for audio tracks. This tolerance is multiplied by a factor dependent on the logical block length.

The sense data: 1. 2. shall be available if an error condition (CHECK CONDITION) had previously been reported to the Host Computer; shall be available if other information (e.g. medium position) is available in any eld.

If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive has no other sense data available to return, it shall return a sense key of NO SENSE and an additional sense code of NO ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION. The sense data shall be preserved by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive until retrieved by a REQUEST SENSE command or until the receipt of any other I/O Command. The ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall return CHECK CONDITION status for a REQUEST SENSE command only to report exception conditions specic to the command itself. For example: 1. An ATAPI CD-ROM Drive malfunction prevents return of the sense data.

If a recovered error occurs during the execution of the REQUEST SENSE command, the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive shall return the sense data with GOOD status. If an ATAPI CD-ROM Drive returns CHECK CONDITION status for a REQUEST SENSE command, the sense data may be invalid. ATAPI CD-ROM Drives shall be capable of returning at least 18 bytes of data in response to a REQUEST SENSE command. If the allocation length is 18 or greater, and an ATAPI CD-ROM Drive returns less than 18 bytes of data, the Host Computer should assume that the bytes not transferred would have been zeros had the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive returned those bytes. Host Computers can determine how much sense data has been returned by examining the allocation length parameter in the Command Packet and the additional sense length in the sense data. ATAPI CD-ROM Drives shall not adjust the additional sense length to reect truncation if the allocation length is less than the sense data available. The sense data format for error codes 70h (current errors) and 71h (deferred errors) are dened in "Table 137 - Request Sense Standard Data" on page 180. Error code values of 72h to 7Eh are reserved.

ATAPI CD-ROM Drives shall implement the Valid bit. The Segment Number eld is Reserved. An Incorrect Length Indicator (ILI) bit of one indicates that the requested allocation length did not match the logical block length of the data on the medium. The Sense Key, Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualier provide a hierarchy of information. The intention of the hierarchy is to provide a top-down approach for a Host Computer to determine information relating to the error and exception conditions. The Sense Key provides generic categories in which error and exception conditions can be reported. Host Computers would typically use sense keys for high-level error recovery procedures. Additional Sense Codes provide further detail describing the sense key. Additional Sense Code Qualiers add further detail to the additional sense code. The Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualier can be used by Host Computers where sophisticated error recovery procedures require detailed information describing the error and exception conditions. The Sense Key eld is mandatory and indicates generic information describing an error or exception condition. The sense keys are dened in section Table 140 -, "Sense Key Descriptions", on page 183. The contents of the Information eld is command-specic and is dened within the appropriate section for the command of interest. ATAPI CD-ROM Drives shall implement the Information eld. Unless specied otherwise, this eld contains the unsigned logical block address associated with the sense key. The Additional Sense Length eld indicates the number of additional sense bytes to follow. If the allocation length of the Command Packet is too small to transfer all of the additional sense bytes, the Additional Sense Length is not adjusted to reect the truncation.

A list of additional sense codes is in "Table 141 ASC and ASCQ Assignments" on page 184. If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive does not have further information related to the error or exception condition, the Additional Sense Code is set to NO ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION. The Additional Sense Code Qualier (ASCQ) indicates detailed information related to the Additional Sense Code. The ASCQ is optional. If the error or exception condition is reportable by the device, the value returned shall be as specied in "Table 141 - ASC and ASCQ Assignments" on page 184. If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive does not have detailed information related to the error or exception condition, the ASCQ is set to zero. Non-zero values in the Field Replaceable Unit Code eld are used to dene a device-specic mechanism or unit that has failed. A value of zero in this eld shall indicate that no specic mechanism or unit has been identied to have failed or that the data is not available. The Field Replaceable Unit Code eld is optional. The format of this information is not specied by this Specication. Additional information about the eld replaceable unit may be available in the ASCII information page, if supported by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive. The Additional Sense Bytes eld may contain command specic data, peripheral device specic data, or vendor-specic data that further denes the nature of the CHECK CONDITION status.

10.8.20.1 Sense-key Specic

The Sense-key Specic eld is dened by this Specication when the value of the Sense-key Specic Valid (SKSV) bit is one. The Sense-key Specic Valid bit and Sense-key Specic eld are optional. The denition of this eld is determined by the value of the sense key eld. This eld is reserved for sense keys not described below. An SKSV value of zero indicates that this eld is not as dened by this Specication. If the Sense Key eld is set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the SKSV bit is set to one, the Sense-key Specic field indicates which illegal parameters in the Command Packet or the data parameters are in error.

LSB

The Actual Retry Count eld returns implementation-specic information on the actual number of retries of the recovery algorithm used in attempting to recover an error or exception condition. This eld should relate to the retry count elds within the Error Recovery Page of the MODE SELECT command.

10.8.20.2 Deferred Errors

Error code 70h indicates that the CHECK CONDITION status returned is the result of an error or exception condition on the I/O process that returned the CHECK CONDITION status. This includes errors generated during execution of the command by the actual execution process. It also includes errors not related to any command that are rst observed during execution of a command. Examples of this latter type of error include disk servo-mechanism, off-track errors, and power-up test errors. Error code 71h (deferred error) indicates that the CHECK CONDITION status returned is the result of an error or exception condition that occurred during execution of a previous command for which GOOD status has already been returned. Such commands are associated with use of the immediate bit, with some forms of caching, and with multiple command buffering. ATAPI CD-ROM Drives that implement these features are required to implement deferred error reporting. The deferred error may be indicated by returning CHECK CONDITION status to the Host Computer as described below. The subsequent execution of a REQUEST SENSE command shall return the deferred error sense information. If an I/O Command terminates with CHECK CONDITION status and the subsequent sense data returns a deferred error, that I/O command shall not have been executed. After the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive detects a deferred error condition on a Device, it shall return a deferred error according to the rules described below: 1. If a deferred error can be recovered with no external system intervention, a deferred error indication shall not be posted unless required by the error handling parameters of the MODE SELECT command. The occurrence of the error may be logged if statistical or error logging is supported. If a deferred error can be associated with a particular function or a particular subset of data, and the error is either unrecovered or required to be reported by the mode parameters, a deferred error indication shall be returned to the Host Computer.

Deferred errors may indicate that an operation was unsuccessful long after the command performing the data transfer returned GOOD status. If data that cannot be replicated or recovered from other sources is being stored using buffered write operations, synchronization commands should be performed before the critical data is destroyed in the host Host Computer. This is necessary to be sure that recovery actions can be taken if deferred errors do occur in the storing of the data.

Description
NO SENSE. Indicates that there is no specic sense key information to be reported. This would be the case for a successful command. RECOVERED ERROR. Indicates that the last command completed successfully with some recovery action performed by the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive. Details may be determinable by examining the additional sense bytes and the information eld. When multiple recovered errors occur during one command, the choice of which error to report (rst, last, most severe, etc.) is device specic. NOT READY. Indicates that the Device cannot be accessed. Operator intervention may be required to correct this condition. MEDIUM ERROR. Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recovered error condition that was probably caused by a aw in the medium or an error in the recorded data. This sense key may also be returned if the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive is unable to distinguish between a aw in the medium and a specic hardware failure (sense key 4h). HARDWARE ERROR. Indicates that the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive detected a non-recoverable hardware failure (for example, controller failure, device failure, parity error, etc.) while performing the command or during a self test. ILLEGAL REQUEST. Indicates that there was an illegal parameter in the Command Packet or in the additional parameters supplied as data for some commands. If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive detects an invalid parameter in the Command Packet, then it shall terminate the command without altering the medium. If the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive detects an invalid parameter in the additional parameters supplied as data, then the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive may have already altered the medium. UNIT ATTENTION. Indicates that the removable medium may have been changed or the ATAPI CD-ROM Drive has been reset. DATA PROTECT. Indicates that a command that reads the medium was attempted on a block that is protected from this operation. The read operation is not performed. Reserved Reserved ABORTED COMMAND. Indicates that the device has aborted the command. The Host may be able to recover by trying the command again. This error is reported for conditions such as an overrun etc. MISCOMPARE. Indicates that the source data did not match the data read from the medium. Reserved

ATAPI CD-ROM Specication SCAN Command 10.8.21 SCAN Command

The SCAN command requests a fast-forward or fast-reverse scan operation starting from the Scan Starting Address. The command shall scan all the way to the end of the media (last audio track). This command responds with immediate status, allowing overlapped commands. This command shall set the DSC bit upon command completion. See also "10.4 Immediate Command Processing Considerations" on page 90. A Direction (DIRECT) bit of zero indicates a fast-forward. A DIRECT bit of one indicates a fast-reversed operation. The Scan Starting Address species the address at which the Audio Fast Scan shall begin. The Type Field determines the interpretation of the address. Like the Audio Play Command, the SCAN Command shall terminate the scan at the last audio track or upon receipt of the STOP PLAY / SCAN Command. Upon receipt of the STOP PLAY / SCAN Command the Device shall set the current address to the last address output during the SCAN Command. Subsequent Audio Play Commands shall cause the device to begin playing at the location last output by the SCAN Command. If the drive receives a PAUSE/RESUME Command with the resume bit clear, the drive shall pause. After that, if the drive receives a PAUSE/RESUME Command with the resume bit set, the drive shall resume audio play (note: not scan) from the address where the audio pause occurred. See "Figure 15 - Stop Play/Play Audio/Audio Scan/Pause/Resume Sequencing" on page 196 for additional information. If the drive receives a SCAN Command during play or pause, the drive shall stop play or pause and perform Scan. Upon receipt of a READ SUB-CHANNEL Command during scan, the drive shall return an Audio Status of 11h (Audio Play operation in Progress). If the drive receives a SCAN Command during play or pause for which a valid stop address was specied, the drive will remember the stop address but ignore it during the scan command. The stop address becomes valid again when audio play resumes. Thus, upon resumption of audio play, if the current address is greater than the former stop address, the drive shall stop playing and return good status. After this, if the drive receives a READ SUB-CHANNEL Command, the drive shall return an Audio Status of 13h (Audio Play operation successfully completed). If the drive reaches a data track, it shall stop scan. Request to the implementer: The following implementation of forward and reverse scan speed will provide good quality soud: Forward scan - [Play six CD-DA blocks and then jump 190* CD-DA blocks in the forward direction. Reverse scan - play six CD-DA blocks and then jump 150* CD-DA blocks (from the last block of the six) in the reverse direction. *This can be some xed number between 150 and 200..
