ABSTRACT:
A dedicated servo disk is encoded with a plurality of bit frames. Each bit frame is positioned between synchronizing bits. Each bit frame contains a first and second portion in timed succession and a plurality of servo bits are arranged in first and second distinct patterns. A bit frame can contain an intermediate code bit with a plurality of intermediate code bits and quadrature position signals used to form the unique track address. The track address is repeated throughout the associated servo track. The dedicated servo disk is used in an servo address system.
