The values change with the data rate speed
selection and are documented in Table 30. The
values are the same for MFM and FM.

The choice of DMA or non-DMA operations is
made by the ND bit. When this bit is "1", the
non-DMA mode is selected, and when ND is "0",
the DMA mode is selected. In DMA mode, data
transfers are signaled by the FDRQ pin. Non-
DMA mode uses the RQM bit and the FINT pin
to signal data transfers.
EIS - Enable Implied Seek. When set to "1", the
FDC will perform a Seek operation before
executing a read or write command. Defaults to
no implied seek.
EFIFO - A "1" disables the FIFO (default). This
means data transfers are asked for on a byte-
by-byte basis. Defaults to "1", FIFO disabled.
The threshold defaults to "1".
Configure
The Configure command is issued to select the
POLL - Disable polling of the drives. Defaults to
"0", polling enabled. When enabled, a single
interrupt is generated after a reset. No polling is
performed while the drive head is loaded and
the head unload delay has not expired.
special features of the FDC.
A Configure
command need not be issued if the default
values of the FDC meet the system
requirements.
Configure Default Values:
FIFOTHR - The FIFO threshold in the execution
phase of read or write commands. This is
programmable from 1 to 16 bytes. Defaults to
one byte. A "00" selects one byte; "0F" selects
16 bytes.
EIS - No Implied Seeks
EFIFO - FIFO Disabled
POLL - Polling Enabled
FIFOTHR - FIFO Threshold Set to 1 Byte
PRETRK - Pre-Compensation Set to Track 0
