Diagnostic Status Byte (Hex 00E)
+-----------------------------------------------+
| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
|-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----|
| PWR | SUM | CFG | SIZ | FDC | TS | R | R |
+-----------------------------------------------+
PWR: Clock power
SUM: Checksum status
CFG: Configuration error
SIZ: Memory-size miscompare
FDC: Fixed disk C status
TS: Time status
R: Reserved
PWR When the clock-power bit
is 1, the real-time clock has lost power.
SUM When the checksum-error
bit is 1, the checksum is incorrect.
CFG When the configuration-error
bit is 1, the power-on check of the Equipment byte (hex 014) failed.
SIZ When the memory-size-miscompare
bit is 1, the memory size does not match the configuration information
in CMOS RAM.
FDC When the fixed-disk-C
bit is 1, the controller or hard disk drive failed to initialize.
TS When the time-status bit
is 1, the time is not valid.
Shutdown Status Byte (Hex 00F)
This byte is defined by the power-on diagnostic programs.
Diskette Drive Type Byte (Hex 010)
This byte indicates the type of diskette drive that is installed.

| Disk A | Disk B |

These two 4-bits fields indicate the drive type of the
first and second diskette drives.

Note: Combinations that are not shown are reserved.
First Fixed Disk Drive Type Byte (Hex 011)
This byte defines the type of the fixed disk drive that
is installed. A value of hex 00 indicates that no fixed disk drive is installed.
Second Fixed Disk Drive Type Byte (Hex 011)
This byte defines the type of the fixed disk drive that
is installed. A value of hex 00 indicates that no fixed disk drive is installed.
Reserved Bytes (Hex 012, 013)
These bytes are reserved.
Equipment Byte (Hex 014)
This byte defines the basic equipment in the system for
the power-on diagnostic tests.

drive A is present.
Low and High Base Memory Bytes (Hex 015 and 016)
These bytes define the amount of memory below the 640KB
address space.
The value of these bytes indicates the number of 1KB blocks
of base memory. For example, hex 0280 indicates 640KB of base memory.
The low byte is hex 015; the high byte is hex 016.
Low and High Expansion Memory Bytes (Hex 017 and 018)
These bytes define the amount of memory above the 1MB address space.
The value of these bytes indicates the number of 1KB blocks
of expansion memory. For example, hex 0800 indicates 2048KB of expansion
memory. The low byte is hex 017; the high byte is hex 018.
Reserved Bytes (Hex 019 through 031)
These bytes are reserved.
Configuration CRC Bytes (Hex 032 and 033)
These bytes contain the cyclic-redundancy-check (CRC) data for
bytes hex 010 through 031 of the 64-byte CMOS RAM. The low byte is hex
033; the high byte is hex 032.
Reserved Byte (Hex 034)
These bytes are reserved.
Low and High Usable Memory Bytes (Hex 035 and 036)
These bytes define the total amount of contiguous usable
memory from 1MB to 16MB. The value of these bytes indicates the number
of 1KB blocks of usable memory. For example, hex 0800 indicates 2048KB
of contiguous usable memory. The low byte is hex 035; the high byte is
hex 036.
Date-Century Byte (Hex 037)
Bits 7 through 0 of this byte contain the BCD value for the century.
Reserved Bytes (Hex 038-04F)
These bytes are reserved.
