SECTION 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
This
document provides
required information
in
order
to
evaluate
and incorporate Tandon's disk drive into a system.
Tandon
Corporation's
Model
Number
TMSO-l
and
TMSO-2,
S-1/4-inch
flexible
drives are compact,
low profile drives that may be installed
in
only
one-half the space normally required.
They are compact data
storaye devices that use an ANSI-compatible, industry standard, 5-1/4-
inch diskette.
Model
Number
TMSO-l
and TMSO-2 drives each 48 tracks per inch.
The
TM50-2 is a double-sided recording device.
Both
drives
are
capable
of
reading
and writing in single-density
format
on
a diskette, using a proprietry read/write head patented by
Tandon.
The drives have a double density capability when a t10dified
Frequency
Modulated (MFM) or other appropriate recording technique is
used.
Encoding
and
decoding
of
the
data
is
done by the
user's controller.
1.1
SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENT
This
document
contains
the
specifications,
mounting
and
typical timing characteristics
major features, physical
power requirements, the
of the TMSO-l and TMSO-2
and functional
interface, and
drives.
In
addition,
there
is
a theory of operation, checks and adjustment
procedures, replacement procedures, assembly
drawing~
and schematics.
1.2
PURPOSE OF THE DRIVE
The
TMSO-l
and TMSO-2 drives are rotating disk memories designed for
random
access
data
entry,
storage, and
retrieval
applications.
Typical
applications
include
intelligent
terminal
controllers,
microcomputers,
word processing systems, data communication systems,
error logging, program loading, and point-of-sale terminals.
1.3
MAJOR FEATURES
write Protect
When
a write protected diskette is inserted into the drive, the write
electronics are disabled.
