    摘要: A floppy disk drive (FDD) capable of data transfer with a track density of, typically, 96 tracks per inch (TPI) is adapted for rewriting on a floppy disk on which data has been written on concentric data tracks by a 48-TPI FDD. The data tracks, each with a width W1, are arranged with a pitch P1 on the disk. The 96-TPI FDD has a magnetic head assembly comprising a read/write head capable of providing a data track width W2 of 0.4 W1 to 0.6 W1, and a pair of tunnel erase heads each capable of providing an erase width of (W1-W2)/1 to (P1/2-W2). The opposite edge portions of each prewritten data track on the disk are erased by the erase heads of the head assembly, with the latter successively positioned intermediate the data tracks. Either before or, preferably, after the erasure of the edge portions of the prewritten data tracks, the head assembly is positioned on the successive data tracks for rewriting thereon by the read/write head, with the erase heads maintained in operation for the complete erasure of the old data during the writing of new data.

    摘要: A floppy disk drive which, together with one or more like devices, is daisy chained to host equipment comprising a central processor unit and an associated controller. Each disk drive comprises a disk motor for rotating a record disk under the control of a disk motor drive circuit, a head motor for incrementally moving a transducer head radially of the record disk under the control of a head motor drive circuit, and a read/write circuit for processing data read from, or to be written on, the record disk via the transducer head. The host equipment produces, among other control signals, a MOTOR ON signal for the on/off control of the disk motor via the disk motor drive circuit. In order to avoid waste of electric power, not only the disk motor drive circuit but also at least one, preferably both, of the head motor drive circuit and the read/write circuit is connected to a common power line via a power control switch which is closed only when the MOTOR ON signal is in a prescribed state to cause rotation of the disk motor.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus such as a computer of the class for office and home use is disclosed which employs a magnetic disk cartridge as an information storage medium, together with a disk drive assembly for information transfer with the disk cartridge. The apparatus has a housing having defined therein a disk drive compartment, in which there is accommodated the disk drive assembly inclusive of its own enclosure having an entrance slot for the insertion of the disk cartridge. Upon full insertion of the disk drive assembly into the disk drive compartment, the disk drive assembly is locked into position by a locking lever which, under the influence of a cantilever spring, engages a first opening in the disk drive assembly. The disk drive assembly may later be disengaged from the disk drive compartment by inserting a tripping tool through the entrance slot and a second opening in the disk drive assembly and exerting a force against the locking levers opposite to the force of the cantilever spring to disengage the locking lever from the disk drive assembly, thus permitting ready withdrawal of the disk drive assembly from the disk drive compartment of the information processing apparatus as for maintenance purposes.

    摘要: A flexible magnetic disk drive is disclosed which has a disk drive motor for imparting rotation to the magnetic disk under the control of a "motor on" signal, and a stepping motor capable of stepwise rotation in response to stepping pulses for transporting a transducer head or heads radially of the magnetic disk for track to track accessing. Connected to the transducer heads for processing data transferred between them and the magnetic disk, a read/write circuit is connected to a supply terminal via a switching transistor. This switching transistor has connected to its base a switch control circuit for holding the switching transistor nonconductive when the disk drive motor is out of rotation and when the stepping motor is in rotation, and for holding the transistor conductive at least during the progress of data transfer between the transducer heads and the magnetic disk. Preferably, the switch control circuit is further adapted to hold the power control switch open from the moment the disk drive motor is set into rotation to the moment the speed of rotation of the disk drive motor builds up to a prescribed percentage of a normal speed at which data transfer is effected between the transducer heads and the record medium.

    摘要: A pulse generating unit responds to a series of instruction pulses to generate a series of driving pulses which includes alternately occurring first driving pulses and second driving pulses. The pulse generating unit generates the first driving pulses directly in response to the series of instruction pulses. The pulse generating unit measures a predetermined delay time using a series of reference clock pulses since the unit received the first pulse of the series of instruction pulses. The pulse generating unit generates the second driving pulses after the thus measured predetermined delay time has elapsed. A motor requires an initial exciting period between a first one of the first driving pulses and a first one of the second driving pulses of the series of driving pulses, and requires a steady-state exciting period between each two adjacent pulses of the series of driving pulses. The predetermined delay time is longer than the initial exciting period. A time span between each two adjacent pulses of the series of instruction pulses is longer than a predetermined minimum instruction pulse period. A starting delay time is shorter than a time period obtained as a result of subtracting the steady-state exiting period and the predetermined delay time from the predetermined minimum instruction pulse period. The starting delay time is a time since a reference-clock generating unit started, which time is required for the magnitude of the series of reference clock pulses to reach an effective one.

    摘要: An apparatus for reading at a constant angular velocity a CD-ROM or like optical disk that is designed to be driven at a constant linear velocity, thereby combining the higher storage capacity of CLV with the shorter access time of CAV. The CLV disk has clock data prerecorded all along its multiturn spiral track together with primary information to be retrieved and utilized by the user. As an optoelectric transducer traces the track, a first clock derives from the clock data a first clock signal which varies in frequency in step with the varying rate of the clock data being read on the CLV disk being driven at CAV. The recovered primary information is written on a memory being docked by the first clock signal and read out therefrom while the memory is being clocked by a second clock signal having a constant frequency, so that the information has a constant transfer rate on being read out from the memory. The information may be demodulated before or after being made constant in transfer rate.
