Abstract
A local bus IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface bus architecture provides a direct connection to enable a fast interface between CPU and IDE drives. Also, a programmable command pulse width and I/O cycle recovery time is implemented at the IDE port to provide a finely tuned tuned access cycle time for different drives and provide optimum performance. Also, there is the capability of implementing existing hard disk interfaces with future drives.
