Reset
– Setting the software Reset bit holds the drive in the reset state. Clearing the bit re-enables the drive.
The software Reset bit must be held active for a minimum of 5 µsec.
IRQ Enable
– Setting the Interrupt Request Enable to 0 enables the IRQ 14 signal to the host. When this
bit is set to 1, IRQ14 is tri-stated, and interrupts to the host are disabled. Any pending interrupt occurs when
the bit is set to 0. The default state of this bit after power up is 0 (interrupt enabled).
