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 userā€”written, 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 magnetoā€”optical characteristics of the disk, enabling processing systems to writedata onto the disk;

  • the minimum quality of userā€”written 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.
