14. APPENDIX F: Introduction to AIT-E Turbo,
AIT-1 Turbo contact type MIC
The MIC hardware consists of an EEPROM mounted within the data cartridge and includes a five-pin interface to the
drive or other external connection (shown in Figure F-1). Using a serial interface to the memory chip, the Sony
SDX-460V drive is able to retrieve the information directly from the chip, and to provide real-time updates of system
and user generated information.

MIC Data Structures
When a MIC cartridge is inserted, the drive reads selected parts of MIC even before the tape is fully loaded and
ready for use. The drive retrieves and processes the complete history and positioning information related to the
media. As illustrated in Figure F-2, the MIC information consists of the following major sections:
