SECTOR
IDENTIFIER
The
sector
identifier
consists of the identi-
fier
mark,
the address
identifier and
the
EDC
pattern.
IDENTIFIER
MARK
This field
comprise
7
bytes
(see Fig.
1-6).
The 6
bytes
of
zeros
in
front of the
address
mark
byte are
for synchronisation of the data
separator in
the host system. The
ID-AM-
byte
.contains a data
pattern of FE
where
the
clock
bits C6,
CS and C4 are
missing
as
explained
before
.
2ND
BYTE
OF
THE ADDRESS IDENTIFIER
This byte
contains always
00.
SECTOR
ADDRESS
Represents
in
binary notation the sector
ad-
dress from
01 for
the 1st sector to 16
for
the last
sector
of a
track.
4TH
BYTE OF
THE
ADDRESS
IDENTIFIER
This
byte
shall be
always
a
(00-)-
byte.
ADDRESS
IDENTIFIER
The address identifier comprises the following
6
bytes.
TRACK
ADDRESS
This
byte represents in
binary notation the
track address
from
00
for the outermost track
to 39 for the
innermost track.
EDC
-
BYTES
These
two
bytes are
hardware generated from
the host system by
shifting
serially the bits
of the sector
identifier
starting
with
the ID
-
AM
and ending with the 4th byte of
the
sec-
tor identifier through a
16-
bit shift regis-
ter described by the generator polomial
