In the RKDS: bit 7 has changed the definition slightly ("Drive Ready" to

in the

Thanks for digging that out, Noel. I didn?t know that the RK11-D didn?t have ?all? mode ?
its actually pretty handy for recovering slightly corrupted sectors. Also, the older RK11
static MAINDEC actually does quite a lot with maintenance mode, without needing a working
drive attached. I suppose that test coverage is lost with the RK11-D?
