    Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting short-term speed variations in a reel-to-reel tape drive for use with digital data, comprising counters (132) for generating time windows representing equal numbers of data bits read from the tape, further counters (135) for counting up during one window and down during the next, comparators (136, 137) for comparing the residual count of the up/down counters with preset limits and an error indicator (138, 134) for indicating the condition when the residual count exceeds the permitted bounds. The invention may be practised over a plurality of data tracks, in which case the apparatus includes means (139, 140) for indicating an overall error when an error has been detected on all tracks.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data storage device comprising a circular disc (30), a data storage medium on at least one surface of the disc, a spiral track extending within the storage medium about the axis of the disc, and a plurality of data storage sectors formed on the track. According to the invention the storage device is characterised in that the storage medium is formed with a reference mark (100) extending radially from the axis of the disc, and the data storage sectors are arranged in groups extending along the spiral track, one end of each group of sectors being located adjacent to one of the points of intersection of the reference mark with the spiral track.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical disk data storage system having an optical data storage member with a multiplicity of data storage locations and comprising signal transfer means for optically sensing data recorded in a first storage location on the storage member including error detecting and correcting means for correcting sensed data to corrected data and means for establishing and measuring acceptability criteria of the data sensing, means for establishing a high threshold of acceptability criteria for sensed data, means for comparing the measured acceptability criteria with the established high threshold for determining whether the measured acceptability criteria meet the high threshold, and means for detecting that the measured acceptability high threshold is not acceptable and then for activating the signal transfer means for recording the sensed data at a second data storage location on said storage member.
