ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for defining magnetic disk track field lengths using a programmable counter. Use of a programmable counter in a disk controller permits a reduction in the amount of combinational logic that would otherwise be required to be able to perform the various formatting, reading and writing operations involved in use of just one type of disk and makes it possible to perform these operations on a wide variety of disks having different track and sector formats.
