ABSTRACT:
For transferring data between a random access memory (RAM) and a rotating magnet memory on which the data are stored in tracks which can be addressed individually, the data are divided into blocks, each of which fits to one track of the magnetic memory, and each of the tracks of the magnetic memory is assigned to a different one of the data blocks. The addresses for the individual data in RAM are formed by adding the starting address indicating the beginning of the corresponding data block and the offset indicating the position of the individual data with regard to the starting address. The transfer of a data block starts at an address determined by the position of the magnetic memory when a transfer command occurs and it is performed by cyclically modifying the offset according to the number of storage locations belonging to one data block.
