    The most recent diskette operation status is found at 0040h:0041h.
    The most recent fixed disk operation status is at 0040h:0074h.

    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.
