Abstract: A two and one half inch form factor disk drive (18). The two and one half inch form factor is established by providing the disk drive (18) with a length equal to the width of a 3-1/2 inch disk drive and a width equal to half of the length of a 3-1/2 inch disk drive. The disk drive (18) includes a disk (44) having a diameter of approximately 2.6 inches (65 mm) and weighs approximately 6 ounces. The disk drive (18) includes a base (20), formed of molded plastic or metal, and a cover (24), also formed of molded plastic or metal. A sealed, controlled environment is established between the base and cover by providing a gasket (322) between the base (20) and cover (24). Use of a metal base (20) and cover (24) provide isolation from the noisy environment of a computer. A closed-loop, embedded servo tracking system (36) provides a large storage capacity relative to the area of storage media available.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for handling magnetic recording disks of the type known as floppy disks rotatably mounted in envelopes. The apparatus comprises a bin (16) of receiving a stack of disks (24) and means for moving the lowermost disks one-by-one out of the stack and laterally of the bin (16) to a first location (34) at which one or more functions are performed with the disk, such as rotating the disks and writing data on the disks as they rotate. The disk at the first location (34) is pulled into a second location (35) beneath the bin, and the disk is allowed to gravitate from the second location (35) onto a pivotal selector plate (40) which transfer the disk into either of two collector locations. The aforesaid steps are repeated until all the supply of disks in the bin has been depleted.

Abstract: Apparatus for circulating and filtering gas within a magnetic disc recording system. The apparatus includes a base plate (13) which supports a rotating disc (10) and a cover (20) which comprises a control plate (25) adapted to be positioned adjacent to and parallel to the rotating disc (10). A central opening (24) is formed into the control plate (25), and a first gas chamber (49) is placed in communication with the central opening (24) through a filter chamber (53) including a filter element (55). The cover and base plate cooperate to define a second gas chamber (50) in communication with the outer edge (40) of the rotating disc (10) and the control plate (25). Openings (54, 56) are formed into the filter chamber for allowing gas flow from the second gas chamber through the filter element (55) into the first gas chamber (53). The gas is circulated and filtered to remove particules suspended in the gas that might damage the gas bearing surfaces of magnetic transducers or the surface of the rotating disc.

Abstract: A removable cartridge disk drive (100) that receives cartridges at an angle relative to the base of the drive. The removable cartridge disk drive ejects cartridges (101) at an angle relative to the base of the drive such that the cartridge opens the disk drive door (286). The removable cartridge may contain multiple disks and is further configured to conform to a 3.5 inch form factor while the corresponding disk drive has a drive height of 1 inch or less. The removable cartridge disk drive also has a bent wire (246) mounted to a suspension on the actuator (110) that engages a head load/unload ramp while a head is over the disk, thereby permitting the disk drive to utilize a stationary head load/unload ramp. The disk drive further has a Burst In Range mode that ignores servo errors unless the servo error occurred during a target data sector and unless the servo error is a certain type of servo error. A history of recent error conditions is maintained. The Special Data Sector mode identifies the exact data sector during which a servo error was detected. The removable cartridge used by the disk drive has an anti-rattle feature.

Abstract: A removable cartridge (200) having a housing (202, 204) and a recess formed therein in which is located a tang (208) of a cartridge mounting mechanism. The cartridge mounting mechanism provides for positioning of a disk assembly (220, 226) located within the removable cartridge (200) over a spindle motor (54) for mounting thereto. By recessing the tang (208) of the mounting mechanism, the overall height of the cartridge (200) is reduced. The removable cartridge (200) also includes a specially configured slot (256) for enhanced positioning of the removable cartridge relative to a disk drive.

Abstract: A multi random and sequential access media drive (30) for computer mass storage is disclosed. The drive receives both a removable random access media, such as a diskette (50), and a sequential access media, such as a tape cartridge (60) by combining a microdiskette drive with a tape cartridge backup drive in a single enclosure (32). A common motorized media drive and transducer positioner mechanism is used for both types of media, so that the drive requires only a minimum of user accessible drive bays.

Abstract: A two and one half inch form factor disk drive has a plurality of disks (24) for increased data storage capacitor (at least 40 Mb). A spin motor (Figs. 4, 5) has reduced vibration by employing two ball bearings (90, 100) having different inside diameters and different outside diameters and same size balls. The bearings have different resonant frequencies whereby resonant noise does not compound. The cover (10) and base (12) are preferably made of cast magnesium alloy with the cover being convex configured for added strength.
