The recording and reproducing apparatus comprises an Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controller, an optical disc device, a magnetic disc device, a disc controller which controls the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device, connectors which connects directly the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device, and a selector which selects one of the optical disc device and the magnetic disc device. A Copy or Verify command is carried out within the apparatus without an SCSI bus, and data are transferred through the connector. Therefore occupation of the SCSI bus and overhead of the SCSI protocol are eliminated, and the apparatus is miniaturized by common use of the SCSI controller and the disc controller.

A control method which is used in a RAID1 storage subsystem including a plurality of storage devices, and processes an access request from a host computer with the cooperation of the plurality of storage devices of the storage subsystem is provided. In the storage subsystem, each storage device of the RAID1 storage subsystem includes a unit for sharing an access request from the host computer, and a unit for determining if the storage device should process the shared access request. The storage device further includes a unit for transferring write data, which is transmitted from the host computer to the storage subsystem, to at least a storage device that should process it.

A magnetic disk recording and reproducing apparatus comprising a unit for inserting an error correcting code related to control information into said control information on data; a recording control unit for recording in a plurality of sectors formed by dividing the recording area of a magnetic disk, each sector having an ID area for recording said control information and a data area, provided adjacent to and behind said ID area, for recording said data; and a error correcting unit for correcting said control information of said ID area by said error correcting code before data is read from said data area corresponding to said ID area or data is recorded in said data area corresponding to said ID area.
摘要:
A recording and reproducing apparatus is provided with a recording circuit to record information on a recording medium rotated and a reproducing circuit to reproduce the information from the recording medium rotated. In the mode of reproducing the information from the recording medium, the reproducing circuit retries reproduction if any error has occurred to the data reproduced. The reproducing circuit is provided with a characteristic changing circuit to change its reproduction characteristic. In the mode of reproducing information from the recording medium, the reproducing characteristic of the reproducing circuit is changed by the characteristic changing circuit if any error has occurred to the reproduced data. The reproducing circuit uses the changed reproducing characteristic to retry the reproduction.

A sheet feeding device comprising a plurality of pickup rollers for exerting a feeding force P (gf) on thin sheets which have ream weights K (kg) less than 55 kg and one or more friction rollers for offering resistance to the thin sheets fed by the pickup rollers. A distance L (mm), in a feeding direction, between the pickup rollers and the friction rollers is set in a range defined by the relationship ##EQU1## so as to enable a feeding of the thin sheets with no buckling.
摘要:
An automatic sheet feeding device for feeding sheets of low rigidity and high coefficient of friction, such as documents of small thickness and thin sheets with carbon backing, including feeding rollers, separating rollers, a rotating mechanism for rotating the separating rollers, and a regulating mechanism for regulating a torque applied to the separating rollers. A torque tending to rotate the separating rollers in a direction in which the sheets are fed is applied thereto by the feeding rollers, and a torque tending to rotate the separating rollers in a direction opposite the direction in which the sheets are fed is applied thereto by the separating roller rotating mechanism through the regulating mechanism for regulating the torque applied to the separating rollers which is a friction clutch. By adjusting the torque transmitting force of the friction clutch, one of the two torques is selectively applied to the separating rollers depending on whether or not the sheets are held between the feeding rollers and separating rollers.

A disk storage device includes a data transfer control device for transferring data from a higher rank device to a storage medium and transferring data from the storage medium to the higher rank device, an identification device having identification information for determining whether it should be permitted or inhibited to write data into a predetermined recording area of the storage medium, and a data transfer command device, responsive to a data recording command given by the higher rank device, to order the data transfer control device to write data into the storage medium according to the identification information of the identification device. In response to a data write command given to the storage medium by the higher rank device, the data transfer command device collates a state of the data write command with the identification information possessed by a predetermined sector of the storage medium. When the identification information indicates data write inhibition, the data transfer command device does not order the data transfer control device to transfer data to the storage medium.

A disk type recording and reproducing apparatus includes a disk type recording medium, and a dual head including a reading head and a writing head. A center of the core of the reading head is shifted in the radial direction of the disk type recording medium relative to a center of the core of the writing head. The disk type recording medium has a plurality of recording tracks each having a plurality of sectors. Each of the sectors has an ID division provided ahead of a data division disposed in the circumferential direction of the disk type recording medium. The ID division has recorded therein identification information identifying the sector. A center line of the ID division is shifted in the radial direction of the disk type recording medium relative to a center line of the data division by a distance equal to a distance by which the center of the core of the reading head is shifted in the radial direction of the disk type recording medium relative to the center of the core of the writing head. The data division has identification information identifying the sector stored in a position ahead of data to be recorded and reproduced.
