 Length: 1 byte
 
    This byte indicates whether or not a diskette drive needs to be
    recalibrated.

    Note that if bits 0 through 3 are 0, the drive needs calibration.
 
    Recalibration will retract the head to track 0.
 
    If a drive needs recalibration and a seek is requested, then
    recalibration will be performed before the seek.
 
    INT 13h, Service 00h, will set bits 0 through 3 to 0, thereby forcing
    a recalibration.
