A. INDEX/SECTOR
Functional Description
The Index signal is provided once cash revolution (166.667 milliseconds nominal) to indicate the
beginning of a track to the controller. The Index line remains in a low(true) state for the duration of the
index pulse. The duration of the Index pulse is nominally 2.0 milliseconds. Two index sensors are
supplied for use with single- or double-sided media.
The leading edge of an Index pulse is always used for timing to ensure diskette interchangeability
With a standard, soft-sectored diskette installed, the signal at R33 (see Figures 3-7 and 3-8) is a high
going pulse, nominally 2.0 milliseconds in duration, every 166.667 milliseconds.
between drives.
Circuit Description
Light from the Index L. E. D. is used to drive the index sensor, which is applied to the inverting input of
U32. This signal is co nditioned by U 32, then i nverted by U 33 . It is u sed t o d r ive U26. Then the
Respective index pulses are gated by U20, then with drive select by U4 to generate the signal index.
U26 and the associated support integrated circuits U16 and U20 are configured to allow only the
Index 1 signal to be present on the interface when a two-hole diskette envelope is used.
When a double-sided diskette is installed, the signal IN1FF+ is generated and gated by U4 to enable
the output TWO SIDED.
B. Ready
Functional Description
Ready is used by the controller to ascertain the status of the drive. This signal is generated when the
drive motor is on, the diskette installed, and the drive is selected. The signal takes less than 700
milliseconds to go true (low) from a motor start by Drive Select or Head Load (see Section 1.19.21).
Circuit Description
The index pulse is gated by U5, which in turn, triggers U17, a 220 millisecond retriggerable one shot.

This signal is gated with POR+, Power On Reset, to enable the two-revolution counters U18. The
output of U18, Pin 8, enables U6, whose output is gated with Drive Select to ge nerate the signal
