8.1.2 Read Deleted Data
This command is the same as the Read Data command, only it operates on sectors that contain a Deleted
Data Address Mark at the beginning of a Data Field.
Table 8.4 describes the effect of the SK bit on the Read Deleted Data command execution and results.
Except where noted in Table 8.4, the C or R value of the sector address is automatically incremented (see
Table 8.5).

8.1.3 Read A Track
This command is similar to the Read Data command except that the entire data field is read continuously
from each of the sectors of a track. Immediately after encountering a pulse on the nINDEX pin, the FDC
starts to read all data fields on the track as continuous blocks of data without regard to logical sector
numbers. If the FDC finds an error in the ID or DATA CRC check bytes, it continues to read data from the
track and sets the appropriate error bits at the end of the command. The FDC compares the ID
