From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
meta bit n. The top bit of an 8-bit character, which is on in character values 128-255. Also called {high bit}, {alt bit}, or (rarely) {hobbit}. Some terminals and consoles (see {space-cadet keyboard}) have a META shift key. Others (including, _mirabile dictu_, keyboards on IBM PC-class machines) have an ALT key. See also {bucky bits}. Historical note: although in modern usage shaped by a universe of 8-bit bytes the meta bit is invariably hex 80 (octal 0200), things were different on earlier machines with 36-bit words and 9-bit bytes. The MIT and Stanford keyboards (see {space-cadet keyboard}) generated hex 100 (octal 400) from their meta keys.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
mode bit n. [common] A {flag}, usually in hardware, that selects between two (usually quite different) modes of operation. The connotations are different from {flag} bit in that mode bits are mainly written during a boot or set-up phase, are seldom explicitly read, and seldom change over the lifetime of an ordinary program. The classic example was the EBCDIC-vs.-ASCII bit (#12) of the Program Status Word of the IBM 360.

Modified Frequency Modulation (MFM, Modified {FM}, or sometimes "Multiple Frequency Modulation") A modification to the original {frequency modulation} scheme for encoding data on {magnetic disks}. MFM allows more than 1 symbol per flux transition (up to 3), giving greater density of data. It is used with a data rate of between 250-500 kbit/s on industry standard 3.5" and 5.25" low and high density {diskettes}, and up to 5 Mbit/s on {ST-506} {hard disks}. Except for 1.44 MB floppy disks, this encoding is obsolete. Other data encoding schemes include {GCR}, {FM}, {RLL}. See also: {PRML}. (2002-06-24)
