    Abstract: A method for controlling on magnetic tape the recording of data collected as a physical block comprising a plurality of packets is recorded. When an instruction for reading out the data corresponding to a packet in the physical block is issued from a host unit, the data of the whole of the physical block are read out from the magnetic tape, and stored in a buffer. When a write instruction and data to be recorded are outputted from the host unit at an arbitrary position in the physical block on the magnetic tape, one physical block is reorganized using the data stored in the buffer and the data to be recorded, and this data reorganized as the physical block is recorded on the magnetic tape.

    Abstract: The tape in a data cartridge tape has a beginning of tape (BOT) zone adjacent a leading end, a load point (LP) zone adjacent the BOT zone, an end of tape (EOT) zone adjacent a trailing end, an early warning (EW) zone adjacent the EOT zone, and a data recording (DR) zone between the LP and EW zones. Servo tracks extending between the BOT and EOT enable the closed-loop servo operation of a tape deck during the recording of data at data flux transition densities within a predetermined range of flux transition densities. A BOT indicator includes a first type magnetic marker extending throughout the BOT zone and has a BOT flux density. An LP indicator includes a spaced second type magnetic markers on the servo tracks at the border of the LP and DR zones. An EW indicator which is identical to the LP indicator is located on the servo tracks at the border of the DR and EW zones. An EOT indicator includes a first type marker extending throughout the EOT zone and has an EOT flux density. Digitally encoded cartridge information indicators including the spaced second type markers are located in each of the BOT and EOT zones. The BOT and EOT flux densities are different from one another, and sufficiently different from the data flux transition densities to enable the BOT and EOT indicators to be distinguished from the data. The second type markers of the LP and EW and cartridge information indicators are sufficiently different from the servo carrier flux density to enable the indicators to be distinguished from the servo carrier.

    Abstract: A tape cartridge has a tape detection means embedded therein. The tape detection means comprises a plurality of tape identification holes, preferably in octal 06 arrangement, and a single load point hole located about 30 inches from the nearest set of beginning of tape holes. A method of detecting a tape cartridge with a tape detection means embedded therein comprises the steps of: locating a set of beginning of tapes holes; locating a load point hole that is 30 inches from the nearest set of beginning of tape holes; measuring the length of tape between the load point hole and the beginning of tape holes; if the length of tape is between 28 and 32 inches determining whether tape identification holes in octal 06 arrangement are present; and identifying the tape as a valid tape cartridge if the length of tape is between 28 and 32 inches and tape identification holes in octal 06 arrangement are present. An apparatus for detecting a tape cartridge with a tape detection means embedded therein comprises a tape identification transducer for reading and scanning for the tape detection data and a microprocessor electrically connected to the tape idenfication transducer for responding to signals from the transducer.

    Abstract: An equipment and method for allowing synchronous dubbing and tag recording without using a large-capacity buffer memory. A reference signal from a cylinder servo circuit and tape driving servo circuit of a transmitter is converted into an isochronous packet and is outputted to a 1394 cable from a digital interface transmitting circuit. Then, a receiver converts the received isochronous packet back into a reference signal as it was before by means of an isochronous packet converting circuit, and then supplies it to the cylinder servo circuit and tape driving servo circuit. By this method, the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized and thereby synchronous dubbing and tag recording are made available. Signal regeneration by the transmitter and recording by the receiver are conducted at a timing based on the reference signal, and therefore there is no necessity of a buffer memory for time synchronization.
