Attribute Memory Function
Attribute memory is a space where identification and configuration information are stored.
Only 8 bit wide accesses at even addresses can be performed in this area. The Card
configuration registers are also located in the Attribute Memory area, at base address 200h.
Attribute memory is not accessible in True IDE mode of operation.
For the Attribute Memory Read function, signals –REG and –OE must be active and –WE
inactive during the cycle. As in the Main Memory Read functions, the signals –CE1 and –
CE2 control the even and odd Byte address, but only the even Byte data is valid during the
Attribute Memory access. Refer to Table 32 for signal states and bus validity.
