NEC D765AC-2

210 bytes added, 14:48, 12 August 2018
/* MFM */
The following applies to the NEC D765AC-2 and was found through testing:
* The index mark pre-amble, syncs and address mark are not requiredfor operation. If this area is filled with 0x04e then the FDC will still read the sectors.
* The only address mark which identifies the ID field is 0x0fe. Attempting to use any other mark for an ID field will result in the ID field being ignored.
* The only data marks which identify the data field are 0x0fb (Data) and 0x0f8 (Deleted Data). Attempting to use any other mark for a data field will result in the field being ignored.

Deprecated: The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in /mnt/cpcwiki-httpdocs/includes/diff/DairikiDiff.php on line 434
* Only 3 sync marks (4489) can proceed an ID field or data field. Fewer or more are will result in the field being ignored(applies to both ID and Data fields).* Following the data separator synchronization the first sync mark (0x0a1/0x04489) must be seen within 3 MFM words.* When a valid ID field has been read the data field must be found within a certain number of bytes from the end of the ID field. The minimum is 32 bytes. The and maximum is around 44 but needs are to be determined. This does mean that if you have multiple IDs followed by a data block and read each using READ DATA then only the last will have data.
* Sector within sector is possible.
* If an ID field with a CRC error is found then the ID will not be reported by READ ID and the data field will not be read when using READ DATA or similar commands.
