FIFO Byte 3 Wr Pointer – IDE0 
FIFO Byte 3 Rd Pointer – IDE0 
FIFO Byte 2 Wr Pointer – IDE0 
FIFO Byte 2 Rd Pointer – IDE0 
This register provides visibility into the data FIFO for IDE Channel #0 in the SiI 0680A.  The data FIFO is organized as a 
four byte-wide x 64 deep memory array.  There are separate write and read pointer for each of the byte slices.  This 
register is used for hardware debugging purposes only.  The register bits are defined below. 
Bit [31:24]
:  FIFO Byte 3 Wr Pointer – IDE0 (R) FIFO Byte 3 Write Pointer.  This bit field provides the status on 
the write pointer for Byte 3. 
Bit [23:16]
:  FIFO Byte 3 Rd Pointer – IDE0 (R) FIFO Byte 3 Read Pointer.  This bit field provides the status on 
the read pointer for Byte 3. 
Bit [15:08]
:  FIFO Byte 2 Wr Pointer – IDE0 (R) FIFO Byte 2 Write Pointer.  This bit field provides the status on 
the write pointer for Byte 2. 
Bit [07:00]
:  FIFO Byte 2 Rd Pointer – IDE0 (R) FIFO Byte 2 Read Pointer.  This bit field provides the status on 
the read pointer for Byte 2.

FIFO Port – IDE1 
This register defines the direct access register for the FIFO port of IDE Channel #1 in the SiI 0680A.  This register is used 
for hardware debugging purposes only.  The system can read from or write to this register for direct access to the data 
FIFO between the PCI bus and IDE Channel #1. While DMA1 is active, reading this register will be terminated with Target-
Abort.
