Diskette Drive Interface Control
The BIOS function INT 13 provides basic control of the diskette drive interface. The diskette
drive interface can be controlled by software through the LPC47B397's I/O-mapped registers
listed in Table 5-8. The diskette drive controller of the LPC47B397 operates in the PC/AT mode
in these systems.
