ATA interface

These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports
16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes
0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–5. The drive also
supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data
transfers.

You can use a daisy-chain cable to connect two drives to a single AT host bus.
For detailed information about the ATA interface, refer to the draft of

AT

Attachment with Packet Interface Extension (ATA/ATAPI-7), NCITS T13,
subsequently referred to as the

Draft ATA-7 Standard.
