The start track is specified at the start of the FDD test. Refer to 1. in this 
section. 

Subtest 02 

Sequential read/write 

This subtest continuously writes data pattern B5ADADh to all the tracks 
(track: 0 to 39/0 to 79) on a floppy disk. The data is then read and compared 
to the original data.  

Subtest 03 

Random address/data 

This subtest writes random data to random addresses on all tracks (track: 0 to 
39/0 to 79) on a floppy disk. The data is then read and compared to the 
original data. 

Subtest 04 

Write specified address 

This subtest writes the data specified by an operator to a place pointed by 
track, head, and address.
