2.13 BOARD LEVEL COMMAND PORT
The Board Level Command Port is a parallel output port of the
on-board processor. It is used to select various
parameters as listed in Table 2-6. See Figure 2-7 for circuit
details.

Table 2-6. Command Port Bits
The signals DSA and DSB are used
to determine which drive is
selected. DSE must be asserted for
drive selection to take place. DSE
is also used to enable the on-board
processor to accept an interrupt
from the 1791-01. See Table 2-7 for
drive selection.
Double Density operation is
enabled when DDEN is set high. A low
SERO signal corresponds with a
negative EIA output.

Drive Selection
SID1 serves a dual function. When using double-sided drives
and performing any type of read or write operation, this signal
selects which side of the diskette is used. A low SID1 selects
the same side as used on single-sided drives. When stepping
operations are being performed, SID1 functions as the direction
select, a low SID1 will cause stepping operations to move the
head toward track 0 (most drives) .
Precompensation is controlled by signals PCA and PCB. These
two signals allow precompensation to be enabled and at different
three levels of intensity. Table 2-8 lists this function.
