Each dspec byte describes one +drive. Bits 0 and 1 say which drive is described. Bits 2 and 3 describe +the rate table. Only tables 0 and 2 are interesting. Both tables only +differ in the meaning of rate 1. For table 0 (the default) rate 0 is 300 +kb/s (used for 5 1/4 DD disks), whereas for table 1 it is 2 Mbps (used +for fast floppy tape drives). Bit 4 is the precompensation table select +bit. It should be set to 0. Bit 5-7 should be zero as well. The +\&\fIterminator\fR byte ends the \fR\&\f(CWdrivespec\fR command. It is either +0xc0 or 0x80. If it is 0xc0, no result phase follows; if it is 0x80, the +current data rate table configuration for the four drives is echoed. +.PP +.SH Modes +The mode option is only needed when you describe the command as a +numerical value. Some mode names are also valid command names. They +are considered as command name if the command name has not yet been +given, and as mode name otherwise. +.PP + If you give a command name followed by explicit modes, both the +implicit flags of the command name, and the explicit modes are or'ed +together. +.PP + If on the other hand you give a command name preceded by explicit +modes, only the explicit modes are or'ed together. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWread\fR\ +Read data from disk using DMA. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWwrite\fR\ +Write data to the disk. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWintr\fR\ +Wait for an interrupt. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWspin\fR\ +wait for the disk to spin up +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWdisk\fR\ +Aborts the operation if no disk is in the drive.

This is needed on certain broken FDC's which +don't recognize end of transfer when running in \fR\&\f(CWnodma\fR mode. In +order to use these safely, set \fR\&\f(CWno-mt\fR, and chose the id of the +last sector to be read as \fR\&\f(CWsect-per-track\fR. +.PP +\&\fR\&\f(CWfdrawcmd\fR opens the device node with the \fR\&\f(CWNDELAY\fR flag.
