Spits out any cached write data and retracts the actuator. Stops responding
to commands. Active low input.

Synchronize multiple spindles in a system by connecting this pin across all
of them. Bidirectional TTL open collector.

Now that's easy isn't it? Active low input.

Do not spin up at power up (wait for a START UNIT or wait a certain time defined
in the mode pages.) Active low input.

It's all in the manual or installation guide.

Just make sure write caching is on. Set the WCE bit in the caching mode page.
Get yourself DSP tools to do that. E.g. at

Hope this helps,
