/* Interpreting results */
=== Interpreting results ===
==== Errors ====
If XTEST reports the drive is not found or has timed out, or you do not get a sensible looking result in the summary / full report text fields, it is likely that your uIDE is not connected properly, there was an error in assembly or configuration, or you are using an IDE device that is not compatible. If you're using a CF card with adapter, make sure that poer is getting to the adapter board (see CF card section for details). The IDE device should return meaningful values in these fields. For example, the 128Mb PQi DOMs return the string "PQI IDE DiskOnModule" in the CtrlModel field (left justified, space padded per the IDE spec).
 
==== Diagnostic ====
'''The diagnostic result''' shows the values of the Status and Error registers
in hexadecimal, following an IDE Diagnostic command (90h).
Refer to the IDE spec, Section 9.7 ("Execute drive diagnostic") for details.
==== Summary information ====
'''The Summary information''' returns the text fields from the IDE Identify Drive
command (ECh). They are the Model Number ("CtrlModl"), Serial Number
IDE spec (Identify Drive, Section 9.9).
If XTEST reports the drive is not found or times out, or you do not get a sensible looking result in the text fields, it is likely that your uIDE is connected incorrectly, there was an error in assembly or configuration, or you are using an IDE device that is not compatible. The IDE device should return meaningful values. For example, the 128Mb PQi DOMs return "PQI IDE DiskOnModule" in the CtrlModel field (space paddded).==== Full report ====
'''The full report''' contains all the fields returned by the IDE Identify Drive
command (ECh). Refer to Table 10 in the IDE spec (Identify Drive, Section
