Multitasking:
To
allow
simultaneous
testing
of
multiple
hard
drives
whenever
possible,
the
FDAT
module
is
written
as
a
set
of
multitasking
functions.
Each
drive
under
test
can
run
the
same
test
or
run
a
different
test
at
the
same
time.
Each
subtest
is
written
to
handle
a
single
test
pass
and
all
test
variables
are
kept
track
of
in
a
structure
unique
for
each
drive.
However,
when
testing
IDE
drives,
FDAT
will
not
perform
simultaneous
testing
of
IDE
drives
that
are
attached
to
the
same
IDE
cable.
For
example,
if
FDAT
is
testing
four
IDE
drives
on
a
PC,
it
will
perform
simultaneous
testing
on
drives
1
and
3
first
(master
drives),
then
perform
tests
on
2
and
4
(slave
drives).
FDAT
will
also
perform
simultaneous
testing
on
a
master
and
slave
that
are
on
separate
IDE
cables,
but
will
not
perform
simultaneous
tests
on
a
master
and
slave
on
the
same
IDE
cable.
This
generally
increases
the
amount
of
time
needed
to
test
multiple
IDE
drives.
Another
limitation
of
FDAT’S
multitasking
capability
is
the
use
of
Ultra
DMA
(UDMA).
Only
one
drive
at
a
time
can
access
the
UDMA
channel
and
the
