 DCPU-16 Hardware Info:
    Name: HMD2043 - Harold Media Drive
    ID: 0x74fa4cae, version: 0x07c2
    Manufacturer: 0x21544948 (HAROLD_IT)
    Document version: 1.1
    
    
 Change history:
    1.1: Added command for setting interrupt message.  Fixed manufacturer id
         which was erroneously word-swapped.
    1.0: Initial release.
    
    
 Description:
    The HMD2043 is the latest effort on the part of Harold Innovation
    Technologies to futurise the computing landscape of tomorrow; today!
    It is a high-quality disk drive made from the finest materials known to 
    man. It supports a vast panopoly of disk formats:
    
    * HMU1440 - 1.44 MB 3.5" Harold Media Unit.
    
    Because of its amazing all-American construction, it will also support disks
    manufactured by other, inferior "technology" companies; YOU KNOW WHO YOU 
    ARE! The drive incorporates unique "quality sensing" technology to identify 
    low-quality disks, allowing the system to warn the user. But, I'm a big 
    enough man to stoop to your level and...
    
    Waitaminute; I've just had an idea for a motorised stooping machine;
    Angela, get the engineers in here and turn this damn recorde
    
        -- Harold Lam, Founder and Chief Innovationist.
    
    
 Interrupt behaviour:
    The HMD2043 supports a number of HWI commands based on the value of the A
    register:
    
    0x0000: QUERY_MEDIA_PRESENT
            If a supported disk is present in the drive, this sets the B
            register to 1.  Otherwise, it sets the B register to 0.
            
            Media should be tested with the 0xFFFF command before use.
            
    0x0001: QUERY_MEDIA_PARAMETERS
            Reads out the physical properties of the media.  They are placed
            into registers as follows:
            
            B = Number of words per sector.
            C = Number of sectors.
            X = 1 if media is write-locked, 0 otherwise.
            
    0x0002: QUERY_DEVICE_FLAGS
            Returns the internal device flags in the B register. The meaning 
            of this field is defined in the UPDATE_DEVICE_FLAGS command.
            
    0x0003: UPDATE_DEVICE_FLAGS
            Sets the internal device flags to the value of the B register. The
            available bit flags are, by bit number:
            
             0: NON_BLOCKING - if set, all slow operations will be performed in
                "non-blocking" mode; that is, the hardware command will return 
                control to the DCPU immediately and an interrupt will be issued 
                upon completion.
                
                Note that other commands issued during a non-blocking operation 
                will silently fail.
                
                Until the interrupt is raised, the device will NOT consider the
                non-blocking operation "complete".
                
                Before issuing a non-blocking command, be sure to set an 
                appropriate interrupt message with SET_INTERRUPT_MESSAGE.
                
             1: MEDIA_STATUS_INTERRUPT - if set, the device will raise an
                interrupt when the media status changes: new media is inserted 
                or current media ejected.
                
                Before enabling media status interrupts, be sure to set an
                appropriate interrupt message with SET_INTERRUPT_MESSAGE.
                
            The default value is all bits set to zero.
                
    0x0004: QUERY_INTERRUPT_TYPE
            The device will indicate the type of interrupt that it last raised 
            by placing one of the following values into the B register:
            
            0x0000: NONE - No interrupts have been raised yet.
            
            0x0001: MEDIA_STATUS - Media status changed.
            
            0x0002: READ_COMPLETE - Read operation completed.
            
            0x0003: WRITE_COMPLETE - Write operation completed.
            
            The value of the A register will be changed to the error status of 
            the event in question, not the error status of the 
            QUERY_INTERRUPT_TYPE command itself.
            
    0x0005: SET_INTERRUPT_MESSAGE
            Specifies the message the device should use for software interrupts.
            Takes one parameter:
            
            B = Interrupt number to use when interrupting the DCPU.
            
            If the device raises an interrupt before the message is set, it will
            default to using 0xFFFF.
            
    0x0010: READ_SECTORS
            Reads a contiguous range of sectors into memory.  The parameters
            are:
            
            B = Initial sector to read.
            C = Number of sectors to read.
            X = Start of in-memory buffer to read into.
            
            The length of time this command will take depends on the state of 
            the drive and the physical parameters of the media in use.
            
            This operation may be performed in non-blocking mode.
            
    0x0011: WRITE_SECTORS
            Writes a contiguous range of sectors to disk.  The parameters are:
            
            B = Initial sector to write.
            C = Number of sectors to write.
            X = Start of in-memory buffer to read from.
            
            The length of time this command will take depends on the state of 
            the drive and the physical parameters of the media in use.
            
            This operation may be performed in non-blocking mode.
            
    0xFFFF: QUERY_MEDIA_QUALITY
            Determines the quality of the media inserted into the drive.  It
            places this value into the B register. It has the following values:
            
            0x7FFF: Authentic HIT media.
            0xFFFF: Media from other companies.
            
    All commands replace the contents of the A register with a flag indicating 
    whether the command succeeded or failed.  The following result codes are 
    defined:
    
    0x0000: ERROR_NONE - The operation either completed or (for non-blocking 
            operations) begun successfully.
    0x0001: ERROR_NO_MEDIA - Operation requires media to be present.  In long 
            operations, this can occur if the media is ejected during the 
            operation.
    0x0002: ERROR_INVALID_SECTOR - Attempted to read or write to an invalid 
            sector number.
    0x0003: ERROR_PENDING - Attempted to perform a non-blocking operation 
            whilst a conflicting operation was already in progress: the most 
            recent operation has been aborted.

            
 Performance:
    Full-stroke: 200 ms
    Spindle speed: 300 RPM, 5 Hz using Constant Angular Velocity
    Maximum data transfer speed: 768 kbit/s, 48 kw/s
    Head position on media insertion: innermost track
    Head mode: full duplex [1]
    
    Time to seek to sector =
        floor( abs(target sector - current sector)
                / (disk sectors per track) )
         * full stroke time / (disk tracks - 1)
        
    Time to read/write a sector =
        1 / (spindle speed * disk sectors per track)
        
    Example times:

            Time to seek to adjacent track  = 2.5 ms
            Time to read/write a sector     = 11 ms
            Time to read/write entire disk  = 16 s
            
    [1] The head is capable of reading/writing both sides of the disc at the 
        same time.

 Description:
    The HMU1440 is the latest effort on the part of Harold Innovation
    Technologies to futurise the computing landscape of tomorrow; today!
    It is a high-density, double-sided magnetic storage device.  That's right, 
    it uses MAGNETS to store DATA.  Isn't technology amazing?
    
    It packs a whopping 1,440 512-word sectors into 80 beautifully delineated 
    tracks for a total stuff-icity of 1,474,560 octets.
    
    It also comes complete with a precision Write Lock slide-switch to protect 
    your many and varied files and a super high-quality Label, pre-lined for 
    your convenience and compatible with most writing implements on the market 
    today!  It is also available in a wide variety of colors including Blue and 
    White, but NOT Red.
    
    This disc is of such high quality of construction and design that it can 
    only be reliably WRITTEN to by Harold Innovation Technologies' HMD2043 
    Harold Media Drive.  However, this disc is of such high quality of 
    construction and design that it can be reliably READ from by even the most 
    basic and technologically backward of disk drives.
    
    So enjoy, and may this happy little disk provide you years of faithful 
    service before inexplicably failing, but not so fast that you cannot buy a 
    new disk and save almost all of your data.
    
        -- Harold Lam, Founder and Chief Innovationist.


 Specification:
    Data surfaces: 2
    Tracks: 80
    Sectors per track: 18
    Total sectors: 1440
    
    Note: sectors are spread across both data surfaces; specifically, even bits 
    of a sector are stored on the "top" data surface, odd bits on the "bottom" 
    data surface.  This doubles effective read/write speed.

 Author's Note:
    
    A. I wanted a floppy spec.
    
    B. I wanted a little bit of Cave Johnson.
    
    I tried to write Harold Lam as an antagonistic, blindly patriotic man who 
    is none the less a savvy businessman who has managed to build up an IT 
    empire despite his at-times dogmatic approach.
    
    Plus, I figured it could be a source of fun in the game's backstory to have
    at least two, at-odds technology companies (all gone and turned to dust by 
    now) taking pot shots at one another through the eloquent medium of spec 
    sheets. Or at least *one* technology company at-odds with and taking pot-
    shots at *everyone else*.
    
    In response to this, the engineers do their best to subtly mock him.  Like
    the result of command 0xFFFF: they don't specify whether it's signed or 
    not.  The command is only there at all because Lam decreed it thus.
    
    Also, originally I mistakenly thought that Nya Elektriska was Russian.  I 
    have no excuses for why; that's just what popped into my head when I first 
    saw the name.  I'd like to apologise to everyone for the mistake.  I've 
    since revised Lam's introduction to the HMD2043.

    As for implementation, I've tried to include enough explicit timing 
    information to make working out how many cycles to "block" for relatively 
    easy.  The only possibly tricky bit is the non-blocking mode.  For that to 
    be efficiently implemented, the emulator will need some kind of event queue 
    for keeping track of upcoming events.
    
    Although it would be more realistic to have the data trickle into memory 
    during a non-blocking operation, I think we can probably get away with just 
    doing it all-at-once at the end of the wait time for now.
    
    Incidentally, the design of the disks *more or less* matches that of the 
    real 1.44 MB 3.5" disks.  In order to make them more DCPU-16 friendly, I 
    specified that the sectors on both sides of the disc are really one, giving 
    us sectors that are twice the size (by number of bits), but with the same 
    overall physical configuration and capacity.

	doing it all-at-once at the end of the wait time for now.

	Incidentally, the design of the disks more or less matches that of the
	real 1.44 MB 3.5" disks. In order to make them more DCPU-16 friendly, I
	specified that the sectors on both sides of the disc are really one, giving
	us sectors that are twice the size (by number of bits), but with the same
	overall physical configuration and capacity.
