2.2.7 FIFO Register (R/W base address + 5)
The Data Register consists of four status registers in a stack with only one register presented to the
data bus at a time. This register stores data, commands, and parameters and provides diskette-drive
status information. Data bytes are passed through the data register to program or obtain results after
a command. In the W83877TF, this register defaults to FIFO disabled mode after reset. The FIFO
can change its value and enable its operation through the CONFIGURE command.

Missing Address Mark. 1 When the FDC cannot detect the data address mark
or the data address mark has been deleted.
NW (Not Writable). 1 If a write Protect signal is detected from the diskette drive during
execution of write data.
ND (No DATA). 1 If specified sector cannot be found during execution of a read, write or verifly data.
Not used. This bit is always 0.
OR (Over Rum). 1 If the FDC is not serviced by the host system within a certain time interval during data transfer.
