3.10.5 Signal Description – Floppy Connector (FLOPPY)

RDATA#

The read data input signal from the FDD.

WD#

Write data. This logic low open drain writes pre-compensation serial data to the selected FDD.

An open drain output.

WE#

Write enable. An open drain output.

MOA#

Motor A On. When set to 0, this pin enables disk drive 0. This is an open drain output.

MOB#

Motor B On. When set to 0, this pin enables disk drive 1. This is an open drain output.

DSA#

Drive Select A. When set to 0, this pin enables disk drive A. This is an open drain output.

DSB#

Drive Select B. When set to 0, this pin enables disk drive B. This is an open drain output.

SIDE1#

This output signal selects side of the disk in the selected drive.

DIR#

Direction of the head step motor. An open drain output

Logic 1 = outward motion

Logic 0 = inward motion

STEP#

Step output pulses. This active low open drain output produces a pulse to move the head to

another track.

DRVDEN0/1# This output indicates whether a low drive density (250/300kbps at low level) or a high drive

density (500/1000kbps at high level) has been selected.

TRAK0#

Track 0. This Schmitt-triggered input from the disk drive is active low when the head is

positioned over the outermost track.

INDEX#

This Schmitt-triggered input from the disk drive is active low when the head is positioned over

the beginning of a track marked by an index hole.

WP#

Write protected. This active low Schmitt input from the disk drive indicates that the diskette is
