The head is positioned over the desired track by means of a stepper motor/band assembly and its
associated electronics. This positioner employs a 3.6 degree rotation to cause a one-track linear
movement. When a write-protected diskette is inserted into the drive, the Write Protect sensor
disables the write electronics of the drive, and a Write Protect status output signal is available to the
interface.
When performing a write operation, a 0.013-inch wide (nominal) data track is recorded. This track is
then tunnel erased to 0.012 inch (nominal).
Data recovery electronics include a low-level head
amplifier, a differentiator, a zero crossing
detector, and digitizing circuits.
No data-clock separation is provided.
In addition, the drive is supplied with the following sensor systems:
1. A track 00 sensor that senses when the Head Carriage Assembly is positioned at Track 00.
2. The two index sensors, each of which consists of a L.E.D. light source and a phototransistor,
are positioned so that a signal is generated when a index hole is detected. The drive can
determine whether a single- or double-sided diskette is installed. This output signal is present
at the interface.
3. The Write Protect sensor disables the drive's write electronics whenever a write-enable tab is
removed from the diskette (see Section 1.12).

DIS KET T E S
The drive uses a standard eight-inch diskette. Diskettes are available with a single index hole or with
index and sector holes. They also are available double- or single-sided.
Single index hole diskettes are used when sector information is pre-recorded on the diskette (soft
sectoring). Multiple index hole diskettes provide sector pulses by means of the index sensor and
electronics (hard sectoring).
