X = not used (reset to 0)
a = Data address mark
0 = Data address mark
1 = Deleted-data address mark
C = Side compare
0 = Disable side compare
1 = Enable side compare
E = Settling delay
0 = No delay
1 = Delay: 15 ms for WD279x at 2 MHz, and WD1772
30 ms for WD279x at 1 MHz, and WD1770/WD1773
h = Head load
0 = Unload head at beginning

I3 = Interrupt immediately
0 = No interrupt
1 = Raise interrupt on this condition
I0..I3
all 0 = terminate current command without interrupt
L = Interpretation of ID field
The sector length in bytes is determined from the following
table:
LSBs of sector length in ID field
00 01 10 11
L
0 256 512 1024 128
1 128 256 512 1024
WD177x and WD2791/3 operate with L = 1.

0 = Single sector
1 = Multiple sectors
P = Write precompensation
0 = Enable write precompensation
1 = Disable write precompensation
r = Stepping rate

-while busy - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0
-while idle M n X w s h h R R c c T I 0
- Idle M n X w s h h R R c c T I b
Parameters:
0 = always 0
X = not defined
- = retains previous value
a = Data address mark
0 = Data address mark
1 = Deleted-data address mark
b = Busy
0 = controller idle
1 = controller busy
c = CRC error
0 = CRC verified
1 = CRC error
d = Lost data (late register service)
0 = no data lost
1 = data lost
f = Write fault
0 = no write fault
1 = write fault
h = Head loaded
0 = drive head not loaded
1 = drive head loaded
I = Index pulse
0 = disc not at index mark (/IP = high)
1 = disc at index mark (/IP = low)
M = Motor on
0 = drive motor off
1 = drive motor on
n = Not ready
0 = drive ready
1 = drive not ready
q = Data request
0 = Data register does not require service
1 = Data register requires service
R = Record not found
0 = record found / verified on track
1 = record not found / seek error
s = Motor spin up sequence completed
0 = spin up not completed
1 = spin up completed
T = Track 0
0 = drive head not at track 0 (/TR00 = high)
1 = drive head at track 0 (/TR00 = low)
w = Write protect
0 = disc write enabled
1 = disc write protected
Notes:
The WD2791 and WD2795 have inverted data bus lines. As noted elsewhere, the Busy flag may be left set when the FDC is idle, if the FDC has been reset while a command was in progress. If the WD1773 or WD279x is idle, and n = 1, flags c,h,I,R,T and w may be invalid and contain 0. The WD1770/2 status register description is taken from the datasheet; some flags may have fixed values for certain commands, as with the other models.
