Note: 1) These signals are required only for 16 bit accesses and not required when installed in 8 bit systems. Devices should allow for 3-state
signals not to consume current.
2) The signal should be grounded by the host.
3) The signal should be tied to VCC by the host.
4) The mode is required for CompactFlash Storage Cards.
5) The -CSEL signal is ignored by the card in PC Card modes. However, because it is not pulled upon the card in these modes,
it should not be left floating by the host in PC Card modes. In these modes, the pin should be connected by the host to PC
Card A25 or grounded by the host.
6) If DMA operations are not used, the signal should be held high or tied to VCC by the host. For proper operation in older hosts: while DMA
operations are not active, the card shall ignore this signal,including a floating condition
7) Signal usage in True IDE Mode except when Ultra DMA mode protocol is active.
8) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.
9) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.
10) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.
11) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.
12) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA protocol is active.

These address lines along with the -REG signal are used to
select the following:
The I/O port address registers within the CompactFlash Storage Card , the
memory mapped
port address registers within the CompactFlash Storage Card,
a byte in the card's information structure and its configura
tion control and status
registers.
This signal is the same as the PC Card Memory Mode signal.
In True IDE Mode, only A[02:00] are used to select the one of eight registers
in the Task File, the remaining address lines should be grounded by the
host.

This signal is asserted low to alert the host to changes in the
READY and Write
Protect states, while the I/O interface is configured. Its use is controlled by the
Card Config and Status Register.
In the True IDE Mode, this input / output is the Pass Diagnostic signal in the
Master / Slave handshake protocol.

45 This signal is asserted high, as BVD2 is not supported.
This line is the Binary Audio output from the card. If the Card does not support
the Binary Audio function, this line should be held negated.
In the True IDE Mode, this input/output is the Disk Active/Slave
Present signal in
the Master/Slave handshake protocol.
