Does anybody know the correct answer to his inquiry?
I don't know if this is addressed specifically in the ATA-6 spec.
thanks in advance for your help

We have a question regarding a SERVICE interrupt described in
ATA6 as following:
***************************************************************
8.50.21 Enable/disable SERVICE interrupt
Subcommand codes 5Eh and DEh allow a host to enable or disable
the asserting of an interrupt pending when DRQ is set to one in
response to a SERVICE command.
***************************************************************
Question::
In the case of (2), is it required that the INTRQ signal be
asserted necessarily twice? Or is it possible to omit the second
assertion (at the moment BSY gets low)?
We think that this description requires each signal be asserted
as following chart:
(1)When SERVICE interrupt is disabled
SERVICE Cmd Issue
