 So when you issue a port command to the ym and use a simple move.b to flip the bits you want on, you're turning bit 7 off, which turns the internal Falcon IDE off, which could lead to data loss.
 
 Safest way to do it is the classic read byte/mask off bits you want to change/change them/write byte back.

 What's the anti-troll code?
 That's your personal code to be able to add comments and messages on the dhs.nu site.
 Don't have a code or forgot it? Fix it here.
