Recommendations
The DataTrak 8 can be mounted in any plane (horizontal
front
load, vertical
front
load, vertical
top
load).
When the DataTrak 8 is mounted in a horizontal
front
load position, the
button
on the
front
bezel
must
be under the
front
door
as shown below.

IBM COMPATIBILITY
The DataTrak 8 uses a standard 8 inch flexible
disk
(IBM
Diskette,
PIN
1766872 or equivalent) as the recording medium.
MOUNTING
The DataTrak 8 complies with the physical and electrical
characteristics
described below
for
full
compatibility
with an
IBM system.
Mechanical
Dimensions
The
mounting
and clearance dimensions
for
the DataTrak 8
are shown below.
TRACK POSITIONING
The DataTrak 8
positions
the
R/W
head
to
the center line
of
track
40
to
within
± 0.03 mm
(±
0.0012
of
an inch). Track
40
positioning
accuracy can be checked by using a Qume
CE
Disk
(P/N
50152-01).
Data is written by the DataTrak 8 on the standard
media (IBM Diskette
PIN
1766872).
Read

READ/WRITE/ERASE HEAD
The read
output
level from the standard media
above is checked between
test
point
TP1
A and
TP1
B on the same drive.TP1A and
TP1
B are the
integrated
outputs
of
the head preamplifier.
The geometry
of
the DataTrak Read/Write/Erase head is
equivalent
to
the IBM Read/Write/Erase head.
The DataTrak 8 read
output
level, as measured by the
following
procedure,
satisfies
the requirements listed in the table below:
