If the host terminates a read or write operation
in the FDC, the ID information in the result
phase is dependent upon the state of the MT bit
and EOT byte. Refer to Table 20.
to "01" indicating abnormal termination, sets
the ND bit in Status Register 1 to "1" indicating a
sector not found, and terminates the Read Data
Command.
At the completion of the Read Data command,
the head is not unloaded until after the Head
Unload Time Interval (specified in the Specify
command) has elapsed. If the host issues
another command before the head unloads,
then the head settling time may be saved
between subsequent reads.
If the FDC detects a pulse on the nINDEX pin
twice without finding the specified sector
(meaning that the diskette's index hole passes
through index detect logic in the drive twice), the
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0
After reading the ID and Data Fields in each
sector, the FDC checks the CRC bytes. If a
CRC error occurs in the ID or data field, the
FDC sets the IC code in Status Register 0 to
"01" indicating abnormal termination, sets the
DE bit flag in Status Register 1 to "1", sets the
DD bit in Status Register 2 to "1" if CRC is
incorrect in the ID field, and terminates the Read
Data Command. Table 21 describes the effect
of the SK bit on the Read Data command
execution and results. Except where noted in
Table 21, the C or R value of the sector address
is automatically incremented (see Table 23).
