[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] need help on bus specs and hard drive controllers

rn@ap.co.umist.ac.uk (bob nutter) (10/09/90)

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding documentation on the use of the PC's bus, specifically timing diagrams, etc. Basically what I want to do is take a standard PC hard drive controller and drive and hook them up to something else. Are there any good books on PC architecture and interfacing to the bus, etc.? If I can do this I'll save quite a tidy sum. Please respond via email.

Thanks in advance,

bob

Thanks to the following people for the info, and sorry about the missing
cr/lfs.  It wasn't me, honest, it's just that one day XRn decided to change
it's behaviour and not tell anybody. It should be fixed now, so no more
flames, ok? :-)

thanx to:
