       Notes:         The most recent diskette operation status is found
                      at 0:441h. The most recent fixed disk operation
                      status is at 0:474h.
 
                      For the AT, XT-286, and PC Convertible, the BIOS
                      executes INT 15h, Service 90h (Device Busy), for the
                      diskette (Type = 01h) and the fixed disk (Type =
                      00h) prior to waiting for the interrupt. INT 15h,
                      Service 91h (Interrupt Complete), is executed upon
                      completion. Also diskette operations that require
                      the diskette motor to be on will call INT 15h,
                      Service 90 (Device Busy), with the type equal to
                      "Diskette Drive Motor Start" (Type = FDh). This
                      allows the system to perform another task while the
                      drive motor is waiting to get up to speed.
