Denise sent me the image as well.

dfitoimd has now been renamed to fluxtoimd, as it now supports both
DiscFerret and KryoFlux image input. I've partially added HP M2FM
format; it now correctly decodes the address fields, but I have a bit
more work to do on the data fields. I expect to have it completed
tomorrow.

Any idea how they use that? Aside from that being included in the list
of address marks in the service manuals, it's not described at all.
Since the 7902/9885/9895 don't do ECC, perhaps it was reserved for
future use.
