1 CORRECTED ERRORS in DISC-TEMA-I from version H00¶
The command FORMAT would give an error message at sector address 200000 (cylinder 1616, surface 1) for discs connected to the ST506 interface.
The command PROGRAM-STATUS did not give correct information about retries and ECC errors occurring during read/write operations on ST506 type interface/drive/media.
The error message "Pid bit 11 not set", may appear when using some commands in DISC-TEMA-H00. This is because of an error in the test program, and is not likely to be faulty hardware.
The error message "over-run" could appear on computers with MPM5 and 15Mhz disc controller due to disabled cache.
