INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This manual provides information on the de
theory of operation information for the Mod
(Figure 1-1).
SCOPE
The contents of this manual are intended
to be used for custom er introduction to the
disk drive, as a training document for
cu stomer engineers requiring detailed
theory of operation information and for
installation and maintenance information.
DESCRIPTION
The disk drive is a low-cost, random
access storage device, which uses a
floppy disk as the storage medium. The
single, removable disk cartridge will
store up to 6. 4 megabits of double-density
unformatted data, 3. 2 m egabits of single-
density data, or 1. 94 m egabits using the
compatible IBM sy stem 3740 format. The
disk drive is also compatible with the IBM
size and w’eight, installation can be accoi
location o r orientation. F or data accessin
cription, capabilities, operation, and

Model FDD 100-8D
System 32 format. Because of its small
nplished in almost any convenient
I
the disk is divided into 77 tracks, and
1-1
Page 12
each track can be subdivided into as man y as 32 sec tors. A stepper motor positions
the read/write head at the track to be accessed . Index and sector holes punched into
the disk are sensed photoelectrically to produce sec tor and index pulses that permit
accessing the individual sectors of a track. When the optional write-protect slot in
the protective envelope is uncovered the w rite-pro tected condition is sensed photo
electrica lly, and write operations are inhibited.
Up to eight d rives can be interfaced to a single host controller. The controller
controls disk drive selection, head loading, track addressing, and read/write data
transfers.
When a disk cartridge is inserted and the acce s s door is closed, the drive spindle
rotates the disk at 360 revolutions per minute. When se lected, the drive accepts
a head load command, causing the read/write head to be loaded to the disk. With
the drive selected, sector/in d ex puls es, write-p r otect sta tus, track 00 position
status, and a read/write ready status is supplied to the controller. At the desired
track, a data tran sfer operation is performed; read-to the con trolle r, write-from
the contr o lle r, depending on the state of the write command.
During a write operation (disk not write-protected ), write data is input to the write
circuits. Fo r each write data pulse receiv ed , a flux reversal is recorded on the
disk by the read/write head.
During a read operation, each recorded flux rev e rsal is sensed by the read/write
head, converted to a raw data pulse and supplied to the controller.
Applications for the Floppy Disk D rive include:
• Key Entry System s
• Poin t-of-S ale Recording System s
• Word P ro cessin g System s
• Batch Termin al Data Storage
• Small Business Sy stem s Data Storage
• M icro p rogram Loading and E r ro r Logging
• Minicomputer Programs and Auxiliary Data Storage

The drive provides random accessing of data with greater performance and
reliab ility and is an excellent alternate product to paper tape, reel-to - reel tapes,
card equipment, ca s settes, and cartridge drives.
DISK CARTRIDGE
The disk cartridge is an 8 -inch -sq uare plastic protective envelope, in which the
floppy disk is sealed. The protective envelope contains apertures for spindle load
ing, head contact, secto r/index detection, and optional write-p rotect detection,
(see Figure 1 -2).
The recording m edia is a m agnetic-oxid e-coated floppy (flexible) m ylar disk sealed
within the plastic envelope for protection, self-cleaning, and ease of handling. The
disk should be handled and stored in clean environmen ts, free from magnetic
influences.
Figure 1-2. Floppy D isk and P rote ctive Envelope
1-3
Page 14
At no tim e should the surface of the med ia be touched, or the surface of the
envelope be written on. When not in use, the disk cartridge should be returned
to its protective storage envelope.
For reliable op eration, floppy disks should be stabilized in the same environment
as the using disk dr ives, for a period of at le a st five m in u tes, prior to installation.
The recommended floppy disk m eets the requirem ents of the following documents:

RECORDING FORMAT
The recording fo rmat l s dependent upon req u irem ents of the controller. The track
and s e ctor organization of data Is dependent on the format.
Encoding S chem e
The drive allows double-densIty or s Ingle-dens Ity encoding schemes. In double-
density reco rdin g, each bit cell Is 2 m icrosec o n d s wide, In s ingle-dens Ity rec ord
ing, each bit cell Is 4 mic roseconds wide (see Figure 1-3).
Track Fo r m a t
The floppy disk contains 77 tracks. The first (outside) tra c k is track 00, and the
last (Inside) track Ls 76. During the write operation, an era s e coll in the
re a d -w rlte head era se s the outside edges of the data just w ritten, narrowing the
data track. In this m anner, a guard band Is established to protect the data fro m
adjacent tra c k crosstalk when reading.

Sector Form at
The number of sectors In each track Is determined by the application, and can
range from 1 to 32, depending on whether the soft-se c to r or h a rd-se c tor floppy
disk is being used.
When soft secto r operation is required, only one index hole is punched in the floppy
disk. With this disk, the controller uses the index pulse to define the sectors.
When hard secto r operation is required, the floppy disk used contains the index
hole plus 32 secto r holes spaced equidistant around the disk (se e Figur e 1-2).
The index hole is punched midway between sector holes 31 and 0. The double-
pulse of sector 31 and index ale rts the controller that the next pulse starts sector 0.
The index and sector holes are se nsed ph otoelectr ically, providing the pulses sup
plied to the controller.
Sector Content
The format of each secto r is determined by the application. Norm ally, preambles
and postam b les containing a stream of coded bytes are written at the beginning and
end of each se c tor, to provide data synchronization. Following the preamble of
each new track , an identification (ID) field is written containing the track and sector
numbers. Following the ID field, data bytes are written.
32-Sector F orm at
This format is not the m o s t efficient OEM format due to the number of gaps
required betw een data records. The IBM 3740 form at requires even m o re gaps
but is accepted as the m ost compatible. A typical 32-s e c to r format is shown in
Figure 1-4.

IBM 3 740 F o rm a t
There are two IBM 3740 form ats; Data Set Label and Track. The disk drive is
compatible to both form ats.
Track 00 contains only Data Set Labels that identify the type of information stored
in tracks 01 through 7 6. T r a cks 01 through 73, 75, and 76 are allocated 26 sectors ,
each containing 128 data bytes. A data set may be one or m o r e s e c tors, including
overflow to other on-line disk drives. In the drive, only tracks 01 through 73 are
no rm a lly used. T rack 74 and 75 are reserved as sp a res to be used when other
trac ks become flawed, track 76 is not used. The IBM 3740 form a t is shown in
Fig ure 1-5. For detailed information on the IBM 3740 data form at and initialization

OPTIONS-F E ATURES
The Floppy Disk Drive m ay be or d ered with basic configuration operating capa
bilities, or m ay be ord ered to include any or all available options. Each option
1-9
Page 20
offers unique operating features. Severa l options have connections designed into
the main printed circuit board, for low - c o s t custom er enhancement.
W r ite-P ro tect
The write-p rotect feature provides a write-inhibit function when a write -protect
floppy disk cartridge is used. The stored data is protected only if the cartridge
write-prote ct slot is present. With the slot cov ered, all write functions are
enabled.
Binary Select
The Binary Select option perm its any one of up to eight disk drives to be selected.
With the option installe d, SELECT lines are not dedicated but are used to contain a
binary select code. The SELECT 0 line is used to enab le/d isab le unit se lection,
while the SELECT 1, SELECT 2, and SELECT 3 lines contain a binary code between
0 and 7. When the SELECT 0 line is low (true), a decoder in the Binary Select
option log ic decodes the select code from the controller.
Radial Select
In the b a sic configuration, the disk drive does not accept com mands from the
contr oller, and does not supply status signals to the controller, until selected.
The purpose of this option is to allow commands to be accepted and status signals
to be supplied, each over separate lin e s, without the drive selected. The following
signals can be optionally configured for radial operation:
• S T E P and STEP IN (Step Command)
HDLD (Head Load Command)
• READY (Ready Status)
• INDEX and SECTOR (Index and Sector Pulses)
When dedicated lines are provided for these sig n a ls, the disk drive need not be
selected by the controller. Each line m u st be assigned a separate pin number on
the interface connector. Spare pins are provided for this purpose.
1-10
Page 21
The unit is modified for Radial Select operation by changing jumpers between the
existing etch pads. The etch pads are located on the main printed circuit board.
Hard S ector
In the b a sic configuration, the use of a hard sector disk causes the INDEX line to
produce one index pulse and 32 sector pulses per each disk revolution.
With the Hard Sector option installed, the index and sector pulses are separated
and supplied to the controller on independent INDEX and SECTOR lines.
16/8 Sector
When the Hard Sector option is installed, the addition of the 16/8 Sector option
provides a 2-bit binary counter that counts down the 32 sector pulses from a hard-
sector disk. This countdown perm its each track to be divided into 16 or 8 sectors,
instead of 32 sec tors. The output of the first stage (16 se c to r s ), or the second
stage (8 sectors) is connected to the SECTOR output line to the controller.
Auto Erase
The era s e turn-on and turn-off delays are internally controlled by the Erase logic.
When the controller activates WRITE, the leading edge of WRITE initiates a
200 -m icrose cond era se turn-on delay; the trailing edge of WRITE initiates a
530-m ic rosecond erase turn-off delay. If the straddle-e ra se configuration is used,
a str a ddle-e r a s e head m ust be installed. This option re m ov es the time delays.
Pads are provided for installation of this option.
Data Separator (FM only)
In the basic configuration, the RAW DATA line to the controller produces a pulse
for each flux reversal read from the disk. Consequently, the RAW DATA input
contains both clock and data pulses. F or this reason, the con troller must have
circu its that separate the clock and data pulses.
The Data Separator option is installed for the disk drive to operate in the sin gle
density encoding mode (FM) only. When installed, this option separates the data
and clock pulses input o ver the RAW DATA line. Data pulses are supplied to the
1-11
Page 22
controller o ver an FM SEP DATA line, and synchronized clock pulses over an
FM SEP CLK line. Proper operation of the Data Separator option is based on a
format with no m issing clock pulses.
Auto Head Load
In the basic configuration, the re ad/write head Is automatically loaded when the
unit is sele c ted, and is automatically unloaded when the unit Is deselected. Alterna
tively, the unit m a y be configured to load the head in resp onse to a HDLD command
from the controller.
Activity Indicator
In the basic configuration, the activity Indicator is on when the drive Is selected.
The Activity Indicator option provides a m eans of substituting for the SELECT
status sig nal, one of the following status signals:
• HEAD LOAD
• RDY
Etch pads are provided on the m ain printed circuit board to optionally OR either
of the above signals with IN USE.
PCB A ss e m b ly Option Configurations
The m ain printed circuit board can be supplied in a b asic configuration or with the
optional configuration including Hard Sector and Data Separator.

SECTION 2
OPERATION
GENERAL
The Floppy Disk Drive opera tes under complete control of the host controller,
after a floppy disk has been manually inserted. A front panel indicator is p ro
vided to indicate operating status.
DAILY OPERATION
The operating environment and the op e ra to r's careful handling of the disk drive
and the floppy disks enhance the appearance, and greatly extend the operating life
of the equipment.
Floppy Disk, Ilandl ing and Storage
The floppy disk is the data storage medium. The disk is sealed in a protective
envelope, in which are access holes for the read/writ e head, index and s ecto r
holes, disk centering hole, and optional write-p rotect slot (see Figure 2-1).
For external e r r or - f re e operation of the disk drive, the following disk handling
practic es a re recom m ended:
• P rior to use, place in same operating environm ent as disk drive, for at least 5 minutes
• Never - place heavy objects on envelope
- write on protective envelope, only on label
- touch disk surface while handling
- attempt to clean disk surface
• Always - return floppy disk to storage envelope when not in use.
2-1
Page 28
Figure 2-1. Floppy Disk and Storage Envelope
Floppy Disk Loading and Unloading
Correct loading of the floppy disk is essential for pro p er operation of the disk
drive.
The disk is sealed in the protective envelope with an adhesive label in the outside
left corner. Refer to Figure 2-1. The disk drive will not o perate if the floppy disk
is loaded upside-down. The c o rrect load conditions a re shown in F igure 2-2.
Loading and unloading procedur es for the disk drive are listed in Table 2-1.

SECTION 3
THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL
This section contains descriptive information on each function of the disk drive and
detailed theory of operation. The information is intended to serve as a training
guide for technical personnel requiring in-depth knowledge of the disk drive.
The disk drive contains three major s y s tem s, as shown in Figure 3-1:
• Control System
• Positioning System
• Read /W rite System
Figure 3-1. Floppy Disk D r ive, Simplified Block Diagram
3-1
Page 31
CONTROL SYSTEM
The control system provides the interface circuitry between the disk controller and
the disk drive. The operational status Is m onitored and reported to the disk con
troller. The disk controller add r e s ses a disk drive for on -line operation by ac t i
vating a unique s e lect line. Commands are then received and executed by the
selected disk drive. This technique allows m ultiple disk drive units to share co m
mon interface lines, while remaining individually selectable.
Command Execution
Commands are received by the disk drive in the form of a low -level interface
signal which designates one of the following operations:
•
SELECT
Place s disk drive on-line with controller
w
CTt?n O X llj JT
Enables re a d /w rite head positioning
•
ST E P IN Determines read/w rite head direction
•
HEAD LOAD
Place s disk recording surface in contact with
(HDLD)
read/write head
•
WRITE
Enables write current to turn on and Inhibits
(WRT)
read output
•
WRITE DATA
Enables write data transfer from controller to
(WRT DATA) disk drive
SELECT and HDLD commands m ust precede a read or write operation. SELECT
enables all Input/output gates, while HDLD positions the read/write head for w r it
ing or reading on the floppy disk.
ST E P m oves the read/w r ite head to either a higher or lower track position depend
ing on the STEP IN line. Since relative track positioning is used, the disk con
troller m aintains current track position and generates the number of pulses ne ce s
sary to achieve a new track position. Once positioned, the disk controller initiates
a read or w rite operation
In a Write operation, the disk drive records the data in the sam e encoding method
presented by the disk controller.
3-2
Page 32
Status Sensing
Five disk drive status signals are gated to the i/O lines when the disk controller
selects a disk drive.
• WRITE PRO T E C T Hardw a re w rite -protect condition exists (if (WRT PROTECT) write-protect disk used)
• TRACK 00
Read/write head positioned at track 00
• INDEX
Start of each tra ck
• SEC TOR
Start of new secto r (if sectored disk used)
• READY
Signifies disk drive is operational
• DISK CHANGE
Signals that the pack may have been changed
READY, WRT PR O TEC T , and DISK CHANGE a re static level status signals.
Ready status indicates a floppy disk is loaded and up to operating speed. Write-
protect status indicates write data cannot be recorded on the disk. Disk change
status indicates the door was opened during drive manual action. Index status
oc curs once per disk revolution. Track 00 status is available for initializing the
disk con troller trac k addres s register. This signal is developed from a photo
tr a n si s to r when the carria g e is m echanically aligned with track 00, and the stepper
motor is at phase A.
by moving the read/w rite head one track position per pulse. The following functions
accomplish this operation.
• Stepper Motor Control
• Stepper Motor
• Carria g e A ssembly
Stepper Motor Control
The step m otor control converts serial S T EP pulses to three sequential control
signals. Each signal energizes one of the stepper motor windings, causing a
15-degree rotation of the moto r shaft (one track position).
POSITIONING SYSTEM
The positioning system responds to STEP pulses received fro m the disk controller
3-3
Page 33
Stepper Motor
The v a riable-re lucta n c e stepping motor provides precision positioning of the rea d /
write head. The stepper m otor is energized by + 24 volts dc and operates in either
Detent or P ositioning mode.
In the Detent m ode, an internal generated m a gnetic field holds the rotor in a
fixed position. To m ove from detent, one of three control lines is grounded, d riv
ing the rotor to the next detent. Sequentially grounding control windings causes
the rotor shaft to rotate through detent positions at a maxim u m rate of 333 steps
per second. A lead screw on the exposed rotor shaft converts rotary movements
to linear movement to drive the carria ge assembly.
Carriage Assem bly
The carriage asse m bly rides on a lead screw while a fixed way prevents the
carriage from skewing. The way serve s as a guide while the lead screw drive
performs the in and out positioning.
The read/write head, attached to the carr iage asse m b ly , contacts the recording
surface when the drive is selected. This command re l e a ses a spring-loaded head
load arm that m ove s the floppy disk into contact with the read/w rite head.
READ/W RITE SYSTEM
The rea d /w r ite system records encoded data during a Write operation, and
retrieves data during a Read operation. The write (WRT) signal from the c o n
troller designates a Read when high or a Write when low.
Read/W rite Operation
The read/write head is esse n tia lly an electromagn et that can concentrate a high
magnetizing force over a very sm all area of the adjacent recording surface. When
recording, the flux field is alternated to magnetize the disk with the desired bit
pattern. The read/w rite head also contains a tunnel-erase or stradd le-erase
electromagnet, the function of which is to e ra se the edges of the recorded track as
data is being written. The width of the track is narrowed to approximately
0. 013-inch by this technique, to m inimize the effect of data previously written on
the track and possible crosstalk between tracks.
3-4
Page 34
When reading, the read/w rite electromagn et o perates as a sensor. A flux r eversal
on the recorded track induces a voltage a c ro s s the electromagnet coils. This vo lt
age is amplified and conditioned to recover the recorded information.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The disk drive is a m as s m em or y device featuring a removable floppy disk and
contact recording. The 250 khz/bit t ran s fer rate provides a high speed transfer
of data between the disk drive and a host disk controller. Multiple disk drives may
be connected in a radial or daisy-chained configuration with individual selection
and status monitoring.
The disk drive requires o p erato r intervention only for loading and unloading the
floppy disk; after which the disk controller rem otely operates the unit. Input ac
and dc power, control signals and write data a re supplied by the controller; the
disk drive responds with operating status and read data. A detailed functional
block d iagra m is shown in Figure 3-2.

The disk drive c o m pris e s the following functional systems;
• Spindle Drive System
• Spindle System
• Read Write Head Positioning System
• Head Load System
Spindle Drive System
The spindle drive sy stem provides rotational mo vemen t of the spindle using a
single-pha se moto r selected to m atch p rim ar y power of the host system. Various
drive m o tors are available that a ccomm o d ate prim ary power require m ents of 115
and 230 volts ac at 50 or 60 Hertz.
Rotation of the spindle is provided by a belt and pulley connected to the drive m otor
roto r shaft (see F ig u re 3-3). The d rive pulley is selectable for either 50 or 60 Hz
input power for rotational speed of 360 revolutions per minute. A floppy disk is
engaged with the spindle drive hub by the spindle syste m centering cone.

Figure 3-3. Spindle Drive Sy stem

Page 36
Spindle System
The spindle sy stem consists of a spindle and a centering cone mounted on the deck
and c a r rie r, respectively. In the unload position, the centering cone ca rrie r is
pivoted open creating an aperture through which the floppy disk is inserted. In this
position, the centering cone is lifted, disengaging the disk from the spindle hub.
To load a disk, the o p e rato r in serts the
floppy disk then closes the handle, which
latches the c ar r ie r in the operating mode.
The centering cone (see Fig u re 3-4) is
attached to the c arrie r and is an open-
splined n on-m etallic device that p erfor m s
two functions:
• Aligns the disk media to the spindle hub
• Engages the disk med ia to the spindle drive system
As the ca r r ier is pivoted to the load po si
tion, the centering cone enters the floppy
disk center. Just pr ior to the fully closed
position of the handle, the centering cone
expander is automatically activated to
expand the centering cone, which grips and
aligns the floppy disk to the spindle, thus
centering the disk on the spindle.
Figure 3-4. Spindle System
Read/W rite Head Positioning System
The positioning sy stem co m pr ises a car riage asse m bly , a re a d /w r ite head and a
bidirectional stepper m o tor and lead screw (see Figur e 3-5). The stepper motor
rotational m ovements are converted to linear motion by driving the lead screw and
ca rriage assem bly .
3-7
Page 37
The re a d /w r ite head carriage rides on the
lead screw shaft and is held in horizontal
alignment. When the stepp er m oto r is
pulsed, the lead screw rotates clockwise
or counterclockwise, moving the carr ia g e
in or out, respectively.
The stepper m o tor has three pairs of
windings. In Detent, current flows in one
winding and maintain s the rotor in e l e ctro
magnetic detent. F o r positioning, the
windings are driven sequentially, causing
the rotor to rotate through detent positions
until the STE P c omm ands are halted. The
rotor then locks in that position, with the
last winding being driven. The sequence
in which the ste pper m o tor windings are
pulsed dictates rotational direction and,
subsequently, higher or low er track
ad dressing from the relative position.
Head Load S ystem
The head load syste m is, basically, a solenoid driver and a solenoid. When a c ti
vated by the HDLD com m a nd, the spring-loaded head load pad is released and
brings the recording su rface of the floppy disk into conform ance with the head.
To m inim ize disk surface and re a d /w rite head w ear, the HDLD com m and is
gated with SELECT . In the deselect or Idle m ode, head loading is automatically
disabled. The Head Load c om m and re quire s a 25-millisecond execution time.

LOGIC CONVENTIONS
The disk drive uses standard 5-volt TTL log ic, where a voltage m o r e positive than
+2. 4 volts (turn-on threshold) is considered a logica l one (high), and a voltage more
negative than +0. 4 volts (turn-off threshold) is con sidered a logical zero (low).
Interface signal logic le v e ls are inverted by line rece iver s and line dr ivers for use
by the disk drive and the contro ller, respectively. F o r all interface sign a ls, a
voltage m ore positive than +2. 4 volts (turn-off threshold) is considered a logical
zero, and a voltage m ore negative than +0. 4 volts (turn-on threshold) is considered
a logical one (see Figure 3-7).
The logic symbology used in the disk drive is shown in Figure 3-8. Each element
is describ ed and all conditions are defined.
DETAILED LOGIC DESCRIPTION
The detailed logic description is divided into three major functions:
• Control Logic
• Read/W rite Head Positioning Logic
• Read/W rite Logic
CONTROL LOGIC
The control logic contained in the disk drive perform s three prim e functions:
• Accepts controller SELECT command and enables all interface logic
• Detects and provides index and optional sector pulses

Figure 3-9. Select Logic
When SELECT is inactive, gate 4A outputs a high through OPT D and is inverted
by 5A causing a low S ELECT signal to inhibit all disk change, ready, index, sector,
write - p r o tect, and track 00 logic. Inverter 6b outputs a high SELECT to inhibit
all head load, step, door interlock, and activity LED logic.
As shipped from the factory, a ju m p er plug is installed between the "0" Radial
Select pads, causing SELECT 0 to drive 4A. This assigns physical address 0 to
the disk drive. One of three other a d dre ss e s can be assigned, SELECT 1,
SELECT 2, o r SELECT 3, by rem oving the jum p er between the "0" pads and
installing it between the d esired Radial Select pads. Only one jum per can be con
nected to the disk drive. With the Radial Select feature, up to four disk drives
can be connected in daisv-chain fashion
3-13
Page 43
Binary Select (Option)
The Binary Select option allows up to eight disk drives to be da isy-ch ained to the
contro ller, with a d dresses 0 through 7. The option is comprised of 4 -to-10 line
decoder 7C, and eight sets of jumper pads (see Figure 3-9).
When SELECT 0 is inactive, the decoder is inhibited and all outputs are high.
When SELECT 0 is active , the decoder is enabled and only one low output is pro
duced. The decoder accepts a binary coded address on three selec t lin e s,
SELECT 1 through SELECT 3, and decodes them to produce a low output decimal
equivalent corresponding to the desired address.
The jumper plug is rem oved from the radial se lect option and installed between
the pads desired to assign the independent physical address of the disk drive.
Table 3-1 indicates the logic state of the SELECT lines for selecting each drive.

Index/S ector Detection
A light-emitting diode (LED) and p hototra nsistor are physically positioned in the
disk drive to sense the index and secto r (optional) holes in the floppy disk. If the
Hard Sector option is installed, a 32 -sector disk should be used. Index pulse
detection logic is shown in Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10. Index Detection Logic
The index detection logic is com p rised of an LED and phototransis tor, a com pa r a
tor and an output line driver. The negative input to c o m para tor 3A is driven by the
output of the activated phototrans isto r. R e s isto r R32 supplies bias current to the
LED.
When the media blocks the LED output from the phototransistor, the input to the
co mparator is high. When the index hole is sensed , the input to the co m para tor is
low. Resi stors RIO, R9 and R l l provide a positive referen ce threshold voltage of
+ 2. 5 volts. F o r each index hole sensed, the com p arator output is a positive INDEX
pulse, nom inally 1. 7 millisecond in duration, and occ urring once per disk revolu
tion. The INDEX pulse is input to inte rfac e line d river 7B and inverted to provide
a low INDEX signal to the controller. F igure 3-11 shows index pulse timing.
Norm ally , OPT 0 is installed for soft se ctor operation.
Page 45
Hard Sector (Option)
With the Hard Sector option installed, and by
using a 3 2 -secto r floppy disk, the com para t o r
provides 32 SECTOR pu lse s, equally spaced
5. 2 m illiseco nds apart, during e ach disk
revolution, plus an INDEX pulse that oc curs
halfway between sector pulses 31 and 0.
Re fer to Fig u re 3-12.
The positive-going leading edge of the SEC TOR pulses from the c o m parator (F ig
ure 3-12) triggers one-shot 1C to produce a 0. 4 millisecond pulse, and complement.
The positive-going trailing edge of the complement (Q), trig g e rs one-shot 1C which
times for 3. 6 m illiseconds. After being triggere d by SECTOR pulse 31, the one-
shot is timing out* During this period, the INDEX pulse occ u r s , and one-shot 1C
can not be triggered.
The output of INDEX gate 2C drives INDEX gate 2C and resets flip-flop 3C of the
16 o r 8 Sector divider logic. The output of INDEX gate 2C is input to interface

INDEX line driv er 7B and the Ready logic. S ECTO R gate 2C provides the SECTOR
pulse inputs to interface SECTOR line driv e r 7B if the 32 - sector ju m pe r is installed.
The output of SECTOR gate 2C also drives the clock input to the 16 or 8 Sector
option, if it is Installed. Divlde-by-2 flip-flop 3C produces 8 and 16 SECTOR
pulses per disk revolution. If the 16-sector jum p er is installed, 16 pulses per
revolution are sent to the controller by interface SEC TOR driver 7B. If the 8 -sec
tor jum p e r is installed, 8 pulses per revolution will be provided to the controller.
Fig u re 3-13 shows INDEX and SEC TOR timing.
Ready
The Ready logic is used to m onitor the INDEX pulse for the rotational speed of the
floppy disk. When the required disk speed is reac h ed, the READY status is sent
to the controller. Once per revolution, the INDEX pulse is input to LSI chip 6D
(see Figure 3-14).
