A data storage cartridge having an data storage device, such as an encased magnetic disk drive assembly, is, in one embodiment, of generally an exterior dimensional form factor of a tape cartridge having a leader block with a hole therethrough for engagement by a threading pin. To distinguish the cartridge from a tape cartridge, the cartridge shell comprises a blocking portion at the location of the leader block hole. A transfer station both identifies the cartridge and indicates the presence of the cartridge at an end of travel in a cartridge receiver, employing an optical source and an opposed sensor directed toward the leader block hole when a cartridge is at the end of travel. In another embodiment, an encased magnetic disk drive assembly is supported and mounted in a cartridge shell by a shock mount. A flex cable interconnects the rear of the encased magnetic disk drive assembly with an external data transfer interface at the opposite side of the cartridge for data transfer with respect to a transfer station and to provide mechanical isolation.

Ejection apparatus for a computer mass storage media drive. The media drive includes two insertion openings for receiving two different storage media. An actuation arm receives an actuation force for initiating ejection of storage media position within the media drive out of the media drive. The actuation arm, when actuated, initiates the ejection of either a storage media inserted into the media drive by way of a first of the two insertion openings or a storage media inserted into the media drive by way of a second of the two insertion openings.

A video/sound apparatus in the form of a suitcase-like foldable housing, including a housing cover portion (2) for accommodating a projection screen as well as a housing bottom portion (1) for accommodating various control elements (11), the video/sound apparatus including further a video recording and playback device as well as auxiliary recepticles (21) for connection with auxiliary equipment, with the two housing portions (1, 2) being joined to one another by a hinge member (3) which contains the stereo speakers (4a, 4b), and with the video/sound apparatus also being equipped with a TV receiving/reproduction section and a CD record player (13). While the video/sound apparatus according to the invention is very versatile with respect to its various functions which go beyond that of an apparatus for use strictly as a video/sound recorder, it is very compact and it combines the functions of a television, video recorder and CD record player.

A peripheral memory controller controls a helical scan magnetic tape recorder so as to record and play back data files in parallel tracks on a magnetic tape. The tape is contained in a cassette having a magnetic disk fixably mounted on one reel of the cassette so that the movement of the tape and rotation of the disk are simultaneous. The peripheral memory controller refers to a file allocation table stored in one (or more) tracks on the disk, in order to correlate data file descriptions with track locations on the tape. A disk head rapidly scans the file allocation table disk track(s) within just one (or a few) revolutions of the disk while transmitting the contents of the table to the peripheral memory controller. The controller deduces therefrom the tape track location of a particular data file and commands the tape to be transported to that location in order to access that file. In another embodiment, sub-file allocation tables, each describing the tape track location of each sub-file within a given data file, are recorded in other disk tracks whose locations are recorded, in turn, in the file allocation table disk track. In order to take advantage of the co-movement of the tape and the disk, each sub-file allocation table stores the names of sub-files whose tape track locations fall within a length of tape covered during one rotation of the reel and disk, so that each sub-file allocation table disk track may be scanned completely while maintaining the position of the tape within the tape location range of the corresponding sub-file allocation table.
摘要:
A drive assembly for driving disc, tape or disc-tape hybrid apparatus. A tape apparatus for mass storage in which rotating heads record longitudinal adjacent tracks of predetermined length on a tape to form blocks of recorded data. The tape is advanced to write or read a plurality of blocks. Also provided is a hybrid apparatus which combines the tape apparatus and disc apparatus in a unit which is driven from a common drive assembly.
