摘要： A head exchange system for a disc drive system for controlling the position of a head so as to cancel, during a head exchange, the previously measured offset value between the head and a track of a recording disc. The head exchange system has a head exchanger for selecting one of a plurality of heads in response to a signal from the host controller for storage of the information to the selected track of the disc. The head exchange system also has a busy signal transmitting unit for transmitting, when changing the selected head, a busy signal to the host controller for a predetermined time when a difference between the offset value for a current selected head and the offset value for a next selected head is bigger than a predetermined value. The busy signal transmitting unit has a busy table for storing a plurality of flag information between each head and the other heads and transmits a busy signal to the host controller when the difference between the offset value for the current selected head and the offset value for the next selected head is bigger than the predetermined value.

摘要： There is used a disk medium in which tracks are divided into a plurality of zones in the radial direction and information is read and written with a constant linear density by using a clock signal of a different frequency every zone. A drive unit forms a dead space corresponding to at least one track at a zone boundary of the disk medium and reads or writes the information. In the case where it is judged that the head passes through the zone boundary by the seeking operation to the cylinder address position instructed from an upper apparatus, the cylinder address instructed from the upper apparatus is corrected on the basis of the number of boundary passing times and the seeking operation is performed.

摘要： The present invention relates to an information recording medium for a disk drive having improved recording efficiency. The information recording medium is provided with discrete servo and data areas, with servo information being recorded in the servo areas. Cylinder information included in one or more servo areas is used to locate particular data areas on a disk. In the present invention at least partial cylinder information in one servo area is used to locate more than one data area by dividing the cylinder information into different servo areas, or using the cylinder information in one servo area to locate a data area associated with another servo area. By recording the divided cylinder information in respective ones of the servo areas provided on a given cylinder on the disk, less disk space is needed for cylinder information, so the size of the data areas can be increased and recording efficiency can be improved.
