Abstract: An intelligent status monitoring, reporting and control module is coupled to an SCSI bus that interconnects a cluster of SCSI-compatible data storage modules (e.g., magnetic disk drives). The status monitoring, reporting and control module is otherwise coupled to the cluster of SCSI-compatible data storage modules and to power maintenance and/or other maintenance subsystems of the cluster for monitoring and controlling states of the data storage modules and power maintenance and/or other maintenance subsystems that are not readily monitored or controlled directly by way of the SCSI bus. The status monitoring, reporting and control module sends status reports to a local or remote system supervisor and executes control commands supplied by the local or remote system supervisor. The status reports include reports about system temperature and power conditions. The executable commands include commands for regulating system temperature and power conditions.

Abstract: The serial data transmission system of the present invention employs at least three transmission lines (LINE 0, LINE 1, LINE 2, LINE 3) for transmitting the serial data. Each of the transmission lines can be designated as the data line D or as a strobe line S. Circuits (SHIFT REGISTER 20, XOR 8) are provided for dynamically designating, for each binary data bit transmission period, one transmission line as the data line D and one transmission line as the strobe line S such that two successive data transitions will not occur on any transmission line. In each binary data bit transmission period, an encoder (fig. 1) will cause a transition to occur on either the data line D or on strobe line S as a function of the value of the data bit to be transmitted by that data period. At the receiving station (fig. 2), circuits are provided for determining if a transition occurred, during the data bit transmission period, on either the transmission line designated as data line D or the transmission line designated as strobe line S for that data bit transmission period. Further circuits are provided for determining the next data bit transmission period which of the transmission lines will be designated as the data line D and which of the transmission lines will be designated as the strobe line S. Data decoder (SHIFT REGISTER 85) is provided for recovering the binary data encoded by the encoder (fig. 1).

Abstract: A low noise spin motor (Figs. 4, 5) for use in a disk drive includes two bearings (90, 100) having different inside diameters, different outside diameters, and preferably the same size balls. The balls in the larger bearing (100) travel at a faster speed thereby increasing the noise frequencies and resonant frequency as compared to the smaller bearing (90) whereby the noise from the two bearings is not compounded. A small and compact disk drive using the spin motor is described.
