# x86_ATA
----
## Overview
- 24-bit LBA mode
- Uses PIO Mode
## Examples
```rust
// Read A Single block from a disk
pub fn read_single() {
use x86_ata::{init, ATA_BLOCK_SIZE, read};
// 1. Initialise ATA Subsystem. (Perform Once, on boot)
init().expect("Failed To Start ATA...");
// 2. Create a temporary buffer of size 512.
let mut buffer: [u8;ATA_BLOCK_SIZE] = [0; ATA_BLOCK_SIZE];
// 3. Pass the buffer over to the Subsystem, to be filled.
read(0, 0, 0, &mut buffer);
}
// Write A Single block onto a disk
pub fn write_single() {
use x86_ata::{init, ATA_BLOCK_SIZE, write};
// 1. Initialise ATA Subsystem. (Perform Once, on boot)
init().expect("Failed To Start ATA...");
// 2. Create a buffer of size 512, filled with the data to be written.
let buffer: [u8;ATA_BLOCK_SIZE] = [0; ATA_BLOCK_SIZE];
// 3. Pass the buffer over to the Subsystem, to be filled.
write(0, 0, 0, &buffer);
}
