Subj:	RPM status bits

Below are the bits that RPM set when the following test(s) fails:

	P1BAD = 080		;80 = 1st (4000) PROM bad
	P2BAD = 040		;40 = 2nd (8000) PROM bad
	P3BAD = 020		;20 = 3rd (C000) PROM bad
	R1BAD = 010		;10 = 1st (0000) RAM bad
	R2BAD = 008		;08 = 2nd (0800) RAM bad
	IRBAD = 004		;04 = IRQs not present
	YMBAD = 002		;02 = YAMAHA timed out
	MLBAD = 001		;01 = mainline not running

This byte is reported to the master when S_STAT is called.

Since S_STAT is an EXCEPTion routine it is processed immediately.  The status
byte should come back within 50 microseconds.  If you wait 16ms it will be
plenty of time
