The Read DMA command reads one or more sectors of data from disk media, then transfers the data from the
device to the host.
The sectors are transferred through the Data Register 16 bits at a time.
The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command. The data transfers are qualified by
DMARQ and are performed by the slave-DMA channel. The device issues only one interrupt per command to indi-
cate that data transfer has terminated and status is available.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the read will be terminated at the failing sector.
