FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER
The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) provides the
interface between a host microprocessor and
the floppy disk drives. The FDC integrates the
functions of the Formatter/Controller, Digital
Data Separator, Write Precompensation and
Data Rate Selection logic for an IBM XT/AT
compatible FDC.
guarantees 100% IBM PC XT/AT compatibility
in addition to providing data overflow and
underflow protection.

FDC INTERNAL REGISTERS
The Floppy Disk Controller contains eight
internal registers that facilitate the interfacing
between the host microprocessor and the disk
drive. TABLE 4 shows the addresses required
to access these registers. Registers other than
the ones shown are not supported. The rest of
the description assumes that the primary
addresses have been selected.
