Hi,

I have a question on Parallel ATA/ATAPI register reads.

Who should be driving the upper 8 bit of the data
port, DD[15:8], during register reads ?

The host or the device ?

Wrong understanding of this leads to bus conflict
between the host and the device during register reads.

I have read the ATA/ATAPI-7 document, but, could not
find a sentence specific enough. Maybe, I have to
look at older documents.
