The upd765 does not clear the drive busy bits until you issue a sense interrupt status command. Without this fix CP/M Plus on the QX-10 gives disk I/O errors because it expects the busy bit to stay set until it has a chance to issue the SIS command.
I have verified this is the correct behavior on a real QX-10, which uses a NEC D765AC as its floppy controller. Regarding the cpc6128, this fix does not seem to cause an issues with accessing a disk, I can run cat from basic and get a directory as well load files from the disk. Same thing with the specpl3e, loading programs from disk appears to work fine.
