== Motor On/Off Flipflop Flip-Flop ==
Writing 00h to Port &FA7E turns all disk drive motors off, writing 01h turns all motors on. It is not possible to turn on/off the motor of a specific drive separately.
An exception are the Vortex F1-S, F1-D, M1-S and M1-D drives. (How are they different?)
 
Another exception is the Gotek drives. They don't take the motor flip-flop into account and are always on. [https://64nops.wordpress.com/2021/07/04/a-la-decouverte-du-fdc/ Source]
The floppy disc rotates at a nominal speed of 300rpm, with some tolerance. This tolerance of the FDC has been measured by [[Roudoudou]] to be ±12% (it worked from 220 kbits/s to 283 kbits/s for a reference of 250 kbits/s).
