DSKBYTR    01A      R       P     Disk data byte and status read

                 This register is the disk-microprocessor data
                 buffer.  Data from the disk (in read mode) is
                 loaded into this register one byte at a time, and
                 bit 15 (DSKBYT) is set true.
