controllers that provide interface between storage devices and CPU of
personal computer.SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM AND DESCRIPTION OF HOE THE IDE
CONTROLLER WORKS/OPERATION

Hi compukid:

Thanks for the interesting question. 

There are many, many different makes and models of IDE controllers, so
it will be impossible to describe all of them here. What I have done
is find you an excellent description of how these devices work, as
well as some examples of schematics for these devices.


The following, multi-page explanation of how these devices work is
very enlightening.

Hi compukid:

Thanks for the clarification request. I am not sure what exactly you
are asking for...Which schematic did you not want to see "in
combination"? Can you please be more specific about what you want?

As for being able to open
http://www.ife.tugraz.at/datashts/nsc/f12303.pdf, do you have Adobe
Acrobat Reader installed? If not, you will need to install it in order
to read PDF files. It can be downloaded for free at:

Adobe Acrobat Reader
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

If you do have the Reader installed, can you tell me exactly what
happens when you try to load the file, please?

Thanks.
