Summary: worst case data


	Here in diagnostic land, we have always used a worst case
data pattern of ->  6D, B6, DB when testing floppy subsystems.  I'm not 
sure why this pattern came into being, but I do know that we have been 
using this as a standard for many years, and this company is usually 
more conscious of it's diagnostics than most other companies.
