ABSTRACT:
A disc memory apparatus comprises: transducer means for reading and writing information on a disc; at least one disc medium having a plurality of concentric tracks each of which is divided into plural data sectors and plural servo sectors therebetween, the data signal being recorded and read by the transducer means on and from the data sectors, the servo sectors having first address region for odd one of the concentric tracks and second address region for even one of the concentric tracks, wherein first and second address signals are prerecorded in the first and second address regions respectively, the width of the address regions in a radial direction of the disc medium being substantially larger than track pitch of said concentric tracks, the first and second address regions being located at different positions in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction, and the servo sectors further having first and second marker regions the centers of which are corresponding to the centers of the odd and even one of the concentric tracks respectively, wherein first and second marker signals are prerecorded in the first and second marker regions respectively; positioning means for positioning the transducer means on a selected one of the concentric tracks; servo signal processing means for receiving the address signals and marker signals and for outputting servo control signal; and positioning control means for receiving the servo control signal and for controlling the positioning means so that the transducer means seeks the selected one of the concentric tracks.
