How many times do I have to repeat it? MSCP and TMSCP are very high-level
abstract interfaces between the CPU and intelligent disk/tape controllers. The
job of these controllers is to convert from this abstraction to the actual
physical interface of the drive, which can be MFM, ESDI, SMD, SDI, or whatever.
