ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a complete digital data storage (DDS) magnetic tape system for utilization with a host unit. The invention comprises a host device interface for interfacing the host unit with the DDS system, a controller/formatter for encoding and decoding data from and to the magnetic tape, an automatic track follower (ATF) for performing automatic track following on the magnetic tape, a driver for driving the magnetic tape, a read/write (R/W) channel for channeling data thereto and therefrom, a read/write (R/W) head drum for transferring data to and from the magnetic tape, and the controller/formatter, the ATF, the driver, the R/W channel, and the R/W head drum all being under software programmable control.
