TXON is set if DTX (CSR15, bit 1)
is set to 0 after the START bit is
set. If INIT and START are set to-

been read in.
This bit will reset if the DXSUFLO

is an underflow condition encoun-

This bit is always read/write ac-

TDMD will be cleared by the Buff-

TDMD is cleared by H_RESET or

This bit is always read/write ac-

Writing a 0 has no effect. STOP is
cleared by setting either STRT or
