System Status (30)

The system status command consists of internal registers that flag
hardware and software exceptions. The system status command takes 4
bytes. (None of the controllers use the last 2 bytes; they are reserved.)

Here is a bit map of the first 2 system status bytes. More than 1 bit can
be set at a time.

Here’s a partial bit map of system status byte 2. The CLS and CAS use
bits 14 and 15 only.

System Command Register (31)

The System Command Register is a register of mode and configuration
flags for the controller’s processor.

Default: 0.
