Revised : 28/9/91@20:13EST Western Digital WD1007A-WAH/WA2 disk controller *********************************************** WD1007A-WAH supports 2 ESDI disks, the WD1007A-WA2 supports 2 floppy drives (high/low density, 3-1/2 or 5-1/4) as well. BIOS Address Ranges W1 W2 W3 C8000 - 09FFF 2-3 2-3 jumper **Factory setting CA000 - CBFFF 2-3 1-2 jumper CC000 - CDFFF 1-2 2-3 jumper CE000 - CFFFF 1-2 1-2 jumper Floppy Address Ranges W6 37X 1-2 3FX 2-3 **Factory setting Primary/Secondary Hard Disk Address W12 1FX no jumper **Factory setting 17X jumper Mode Control W8 no jumper - forces a 10MHz drive to 35 sectors per track (supports 1:1 interleave) jumper - controller reads Unformatted Bytes per Sector from the drive W14 no jumper - enables translation of # of sectors per track or cylinders, for use with systems which can't handle more than 17SPT or 1024 cylinders jumper - disable physical to logical translation by the firmware W15 no jumper - 4 bytes ECC (**Factory setting) jumper - 7 bytes ECC Floppy Drive and Data Rate Selection Control W5 no jumper - single speed drive (125 nanoseconds precompensaton) jumper - dual speed drive W7 1-2 jumpered - support floppy drive (WA2 only) Floppy Controller W4 W13 (in etch) enable no jumper uncut disable jumper cut Using the WD1007A BIOS to do a low level format of the drive Enter the BIOS routine through the DOS debug utility. At the DEBUG prompt type: G=C800:5 This will execute a program stored at location 5 in ROM and produce a menu for doing the low level setup of the drive. === File ends
