Block Transfer instructions terminating on SS=2

These instructions terminate normally on SS=2. Upon receipt of SS=2, the SSP stores the updated NTA at DM 4 and continues on to the next instruction. The address contained in the MAR (DM 4) points to the location where the last data would have been stored had SS=0.

Any SS response besides 0 or 2 will generate an I/O-Error. The NTA will be stored into DM 4 as above. The PSW will also be stored into DM 0 indicating the PC and the SS code that caused the error.
