ABSTRACT:
A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head actuated over the disk, and a read channel for processing a read signal generated by the head. The disk drive further comprises a plurality of code segments including a read channel interface procedure having an input parameter comprising a pointer to a data structure. The data structure comprises a command ID identifying one of a plurality of routines, input data for use by the routine identified by the command ID, a pointer to a data structure for use by the routine identified by the command ID, and output data returned by the routine identified by the command ID.
