   +-----------------+

 The drive will operate in all axis (6 directions).


 Recommended Mounting Configuration
 ----------------------------------
 Maxtor MXL Series drive design allows greater shock tolerance than
 that afforded by larger, heavier drives. The drive may be mounted
 within a host system at any attitude. Allow adequate ventilation to
 the drive to ensure reliable operation.


 Air Filtration System
 ---------------------
 All MXL Series drives are designed to operate in a typical mobile
 computing environment with minimum environmental control. Over the
 life of the drive, a filter and breather element maintain a clean
 environment to the heads and disks.


 Drive Mechanism
 ---------------
 A sensorless, 12-pole brushless DC direct drive motor with hydro
 dynamic bearings rotates the spindle at 4,464 RPM ( 0.25%).


 Interface Connector
 -------------------
 MXL Series drives insert into a PCMCIA 2.1 Type III socket or a
 68-pin ATA connector. The drive socket is keyed to prevent inverted
 insertion. The host socket must be capable of providing sufficient
 power.


 NOTE
 Some PCMCIA Type II sockets will accept a Type III device such as the
 MXL Series. However, some Type II sockets are narrower than Type III
 sockets and insertion into these Type II sockets may cause damage to
 the drive. Please verify the socket type with the system manufacturer
 prior to inserting the MXL Series Type III device.

  Signal Name  |Signal Description
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Address Bus  |PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) Signals A0 through A25
               |are the host address signals which select a Memory or
               |I/O register. A0 is not used in Word-Access Mode.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Data Bus     |All modes - Signals D0 through D15 constiture the bi-
               |directional data bus.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Card Enable  |PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) CE1 enables transfer
               |of even-numbered bytes; CE2, odd-numbered bytes.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Output Enable|PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) The OE line is the
               |active-low signal used to gate Memory Read data from
               |the card.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Write Enable |PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) The WE signal is used
               |to strobe Memory Write data into the card.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Ready/Busy   |PCMCIA Memory Mode - the Ready/Busy signal is driven
               |low to indicate the card is busy and unable to accept
               |a Data Transfer operation.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Interrupt    |PCMCIA I/O Mode - The Interrupt Request signal is
  Request      |asserted to indicate to the host that the card
               |requires host software service.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Card Detect  |All Modes - The -CD1 and -CD2 signals provide
               |indication that a card is inserted.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Write Protect|PCMCIA Memory Mode - The WP output signal reflects the
               |state of the card's Write Protect switch.
  -------------+------------------------------------------------------
  IOIS16 bit   |PCMCIA I/O Mode - The IOIS16 output signal is
  Port         |asserted when the IO Port being addressed is capable
               |of 16 bit access.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  REG          |PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) The -REG signal is
               |asserted to select an access to Attribute Memory or
               |I/O space.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Status       |PCMCIA Memory Mode - not used
  Changed      |
               |PCMCIA I/O Mode - status changed is asserted to
               |indicate a change in state of RDY/BSY or Write Protect
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Reset        |PCMCIA Mode - the Reset signal clears the card
               |configuration registers and places the card in PCMCIA
               |Memory mode, active high.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Wait         |PCMCIA Mode - (Memory and I/O) The WAIT signal may be

               |register addresses 1F0-1F7H. Chip Select 1 selects
               |control registers 3F6-3F7H.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Output Enable|ATA Mode - This line selects ATA mode. At power on
               |reset, if this line remains low, the drive will
               |initialize in ATA mode. If this line ever goes high,
               |the drive will switch to the PCMCIA mode.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Write Enable |ATA Mode - not used
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Interrupt    |ATA Mode - Interrupt is the most asserted when the
  Request      |disk requires attention.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Card Detect  |All Modes - The -CD1 and -CD2 signals provide
               |indication that a card is inserted.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  IOIS16       |ATA Mode - Indication to the host that the 16 bit
               |data port has been assigned and the drive is prepared
               |to transfer a 16 bit data word.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  DMA          |ATA Mode - This signal is used with DREQ proc. DMA
  Acknowledge  |transfer to acknowledge receipt of data.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Status       |ATA  Mode - not used
  Changed      |
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Reset-       |ATA Mode - reset signal from the host system, active
               |during power up and inactive thereafter. Active low.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  I/O Channel  |ATA Mode - this signal may be driven by the drive to
  Ready        |insert wait states into host I/O cycles.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  Drive Active |ATA Mode - signal that indicates if the drive is
               |active.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  I/O Read     |ATA Mode - Read strobe enables data from register on
               |drive onto the host data bus.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  I/O Write    |ATA Mode - Write strobe, the rising edge of which
               |clocks data from the data bus into a register on the
               |drive.
  -------------+-----------------------------------------------------
  DMA Request  |ATA Mode - This signal is used with DACK for data
               |transfers by asserting this signal, the drive
               |indicates that data is ready to be transferred to and
               |from the host.

 Interface Functional Description
 --------------------------------
 The MXL-171-III conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 and the PCMCIA-ATA 1.02
 and the JEIDA 4.1 specification.

 When powered-up in the PCMCIA mode, the Card Information Structure is
 readable in PCMCIA attribute memory space. All addressing modes de-
 fined in the PCMCIA-ATA specifications are available. Addressing mode
 selection can be accomplished by writing the appropriate configura-
 tion registers in attribute memory space.

 When powered-up in ATA mode, the drive conforms to the 68-pin ATA
 mode as defined in the PCMCIA-ATA specification and the Small Form
 Factor disk drive specification.


 Sector Address Translation
 --------------------------
 The MXL-171-III features a Universal Translate Mode. In an AT-class
 system, the drive may be configured to any specified logical
 combination of cylinders, heads, and sectors (within the range of the
 drive's formatted capacity).

 The MXL-171 powers-up in this translate mode: 656 Cyl., 15 Heads, 34
 Sectors.


 Error Correction Code
 ---------------------
 The MXL-171 uses a Reed-Solomon code for error detection and correc-
 tion. The error correction polynominal can correct one error burst of
 up to 11 bits on-the-fly and two 11-bit bursts (per 512 byte data
 sector) with microprocessor assistance.


 Automatic Headlock
 ------------------
 The drive's read/write heads are automatically locked/unlocked when
 properly removed from/inserted into a system. Proper removal requires
 the drive to be in either the Sleep or Standby mode before removing
 power from the system.


 Access Security
 ---------------
 The MXL-171 has a unique locking feaure that provides data protec-
 tion. When set to this "secure mode", a password must be used each
 time the drive is powered-up before data can be read or written.


 Low Power Modes
 ---------------
 The MXL-171 supports the following low power features: sleep, standby
 and idle mode. The drive automatically powers-up to the standby mode,
 thereby decreasing the initial power consumption on system power
 supplies and batteries.
