This International Standard defines a series of related 130 mm optical disk cartridges (ODCs) by using a number of Type designations.
A disk has two sides, called Side A and Side B. Each side can have a nominal capacity of 1,3 Gbytes.
In addition, for each Type, this International Standard provides for cartridges with a sector size of 512 bytes and cartridges
with a sector size of 1 024 bytes. All sectors of a disk are the same size.
This International Standard specifies
-
the conditions for conformance testing and the Reference Drive;
-
the environments in which the cartridges are to be operated and stored;
-
the mechanical, physical and dimensional characteristics of the cartridge, so as to provide mechanical interchangeability between data processing systems;
-
the format of the information on the disk, both embossed and userāwritten, including the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors, the error correction codes, the modulation methods used;
-
the characteristics of the embossed information on the disk;
-
the magnetoāoptical characteristics of the disk, enabling processing systems to writedata onto the disk;
-
the minimum quality of userāwritten data on the disk, enabling data processing systems to read data from the disk.
This International Standard provides for interchange between optical disk drives. Together with a Standard for volume and file structure it provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
