    摘要: A flexible magnetic disk drive is disclosed which has a data transducer mounted to a pivotal support beam for movement into and out of data transfer contact with the disk. When the transducer is retracted away from the disk, the support beam butts on the top plate of the disk drive casing for the reduction of the thickness of the disk drive, that is, its dimension in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the disk. A stepper motor is provided for moving the transducer across data tracks on the disk in response to external stepping pulses from a host system and to internal stepping pulses for recalibration. The application of such stepping pulses to a stepper motor control circuit is prevented when the disk is not loaded in the disk drive, in order to avoid the movement of the support beam in sliding contact with the top plate.

    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 magnetic disk drive is disclosed which has a disk drive motor for imparting rotation to a magnetic disk, and a head transport motor for transporting a transducer head or heads radially of the magnetic disk for track to track accessing. The disk drive motor and the head transport motor are fed from a common direct current supply terminal via first and second switching transistors, respectively, which independently control power delivery to the two motors for effectively saving power. A voltage regulating capacitor is connected only between ground and the output line of the first switching transistor for the disk drive motor. In order to prevent the flow of a surge current due to the voltage regulating capacitor upon conduction of the first switching transistor, a conduction retarder is provided which causes a gradual conduction through the first switching transistor in response to an actuating signal from host equipment controlling the disk drive. The conduction retarder takes the form of a capacitor connected between the collector and base of the first switching transistor in one embodiment of the invention, and of a time constant circuit connected between the host equipment and the base of the first switching transistor in another embodiment.

    摘要: An apparatus for data transfer with a magnetic disk having a diameter of, say, 86 millimeters, having a pair of transducer heads for data transfer engagement with the opposite surfaces of the disk mounted on a turntable driven directly by a disk drive motor. In order to hold the magnetic disk exactly level on the turntable for proper data transfer contact with the transducer heads, a leveling mechanism is provided whereby at least the turntable is made adjustably movable in its axial direction with respect to the frame of the apparatus, as by the manual turn of an adjusting screw or screws. In one embodiment, the turntable is movable with a drive spindle on which it is mounted coaxially and which forms an output shaft of the disk drive motor. In another embodiment, the turntable travels with the complete disk drive motor.

    摘要: A microcomputer system having a flexible magnetic disk drive and a controller therefor, with the disk drive including a stepper motor for incrementally moving a transducer from track to track on a rotating magnetic disk, and a clock which is inherently unstable in operation during a predefinable startup period thereof after being powered on. In order to enable the disk drive to internally generate stepping pulses for driving the stepper motor at twice as high a rate as by external stepping pulses from the controller without being affected by unstable clock pulses during the startup period of the clock, the controller supplies external stepping pulses to the disk drive after imparting a predetermined delay, longer than the startup period of the clock, to each series of external stepping pulses with respect to the moment a power save signal, also supplied from the controller to the disk drive, indicates that the clock and other power consuming parts of the disk drive be powered. Within the disk drive a counter counts the clock pulses for a length of time equal to half the period of each series of external stepping pulses in response to each incoming external stepping pulse, thereby providing output pulses that rise with the respective external stepping pulses. A pulse generator circuit generates internal stepping pulses in synchronism with both leading and trailing edges of the counter output pulses. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
