INTRODUCTION

COMPATIBILITY

The QumeTrak 242 uses a standard 8-inch flexible disk (IBM Diskette, PIN1766872 or equivalent) as the recording medium.

The QumeTrak 242 complies with the physical and electrical characteristicsdescribed below for full compatibility with an IBM system.

Read/Write/Erase Head

The geomet ry of the QumeTrak 242 Read/Wri te/Erase head is equi val ent to theIBM Read/Write/Erase head.

Read Output Level

The QumeTrak 242 read output level, as measured by the following procedure,satisfies the requirements listed in the table below.

1. Data is written by the QumeTrak 242 on a standard disk (IBM Diskette P.N1766872).

2. The read output level from the standard disk is checked between testpoints TPIA and TPIB (the integrated outputs of the head preamplifier).

Table 3. Minimum Read Output Level Requirements

Track Output (all '1 ')all '1' output

Resolution = x 100all '0' output

INPUT LINES

There are twelve (12) active low TTL input lines to the QumeTrak 242. Ten(10) are standard and two (2) are user insta11ab1e options. Individual signalline characteristics are described below.

High Level:Low Level:Impedance:

Drive Select 1-4

Logical FalseLogical True150 ohms to 5V

2.4 to 5.25Vo to 0.4V

An active low level on the appropriate line (pin 26, 28, 30, or 32) enablescommunicaion between the individual drive and the controller.

When two or more (up to 4) drives are daisy chained, each drive must have aunique DRIVE SELECT address. The DRIVE SELECT address is controlled byjumpers DS1 through DS4. When the two pins of jumper DS1 are connected, thatdrive will be activated by an active low signal on the DRIVE SELECT number one1i nee If the two pi ns of jumper DS2 are connected, that dri ve wi 11 beactivated when DRIVE SELECT line number two is low active. The same systemapplies to jumpers DS3 and DS4.

L = low level, H = high level, S = short,O = open

----------NOTE-----------.

Only one jumper can be connected within asingle drive. Each drive within a daisychain must have a unique DRIVE SELECT number.

Direction

DIRECTION (pin 34) defines the direction of read/write head movement. A lowlevel on this line causes the head positioning mechanism to move theread/write head toward the center of the disk when the STEP Line is pulsed.With the DIRECTION line at a high level, a pulse on the STEP line causes thehead positioning mechanism to move the read/write head away from the center ofthe disk. The logic state of DIRECTION can be changed at any time after thetrailing (positive going) edge of the STEP pulse, and to within 1 microsecondbefore the trail ing edge of a following STEP pu1 see The logic state ofDIRECTION cannot be changed during the positive going transition of STEP, orwithin the preceeding 1 microsecond of the positive going transition of STEP.

Step

The negative going edge of a STEP pulse applied to this line (pin 36) willcause the read/write head to be moved one track. The direction of movement iscontrolled by the DIRECTION line. STEP pulses have the timing characteristicsshown below.

Figure 3. Step Timing

Write Data

This interface line (pin 38) provides the data to be written on the disk.Each transition from high level to an active low level causes the writecurrent pol ari ty through the head to be reversed. The WRITE DATA timi ngcharacteristics for Frequency Modulation (FM) and Modified FrequencyModulation (MFM) formats are shown below.

Write Gate

An active low level on this line (pin 40) enables the write current source anddisables the stepping (head movement circuitry. A high level on this lineenables the read circuitry.

Deactivation of DRIVE SELECT and/or changing SIDE SELECT must be delayed atleast 590 us following a write operation, to assure that the track is fullytunnel erased.

Refer to the READ iIMING and WRITE TIMING diagrams for the timingrelationships.8

Side Select

Side Select (pin 14) defines which surface of a two-sided disk is used fordata recording or retrieval. An active low level on this line selects the R/Whead for side 1 (the disk surface that faces the carrier assembly). A highlevel on this line selects the R/W head for side 0 of the disk (the disksurface that faces the PCB). When switchi ng from si de 0 to si de 1 andconversely, a 100 us delay is required before any read or write operation canbe initiated. Refer to CUSTOMER STRAPPABLE OPTIONS for alternate operation.

low Current I Switch Filter

When WRITE GATE is low, this signal line (pin 2) should be high on tracks 0through 43, and active low on tracks 44 through 76 (low current). When datais read, this line should be high on tracks 0 through 59, and active low ontracks 60 through 76, in order to improve read output resolution on the innertracks (switch filter).

Head load

An active low level on this optional input line (pin 18), when READY is activelow, causes the R/W head to be loaded against the disk.

Refer to CUSTOMER STRAPPABLE OPTIONS for uses and method of installation.

In Use

An active low level on this optional input line (pin 16) will energize the InUse LED. Refer to CUSTOMER STRAPPABLE OPTIONS for uses and method ofinstallation.

OUTPUT LINES

There are seven (7) output lines from the QumeTrak 242; five (5) are standardand two (2) are optional. Each line has the following properties.

R READY IN MULTIPLEX MODE READY IN RADIAL MODE(REFER TO NOTE 1) (REFER TO NOTE 2)

I INDEX IN MULTIPLEX MODE INDEX IN RADIAL MODE(REFER TO NOTE 1) (REFER TO NOTE 2)

NOTES:

1. Multiplex mode requires DRIVE SELECT to check that the READY and/or INDEX lines areactive on any drive.

2. Radial mode allows the controller to check that the READY and/or IN DEX lines are activeon any drive without DRIVE SELECT.

DRIVE SELECT OPTIONS

Factory configuration of the Drive Select circuit allows for up to four drivesto be addressed in a daisy chain arrangement. Normally, a jumper is factoryinstalled in location DS1, designating the drive as number one. Moving thisjumper to anyone of the three remai ni ng 1ocati ons (DS2-4), desi gnates thedrive for the corresponding position number. Two other options are available.

Option 1

This option allows direct selection of a particular disk side from among twodaisy chained double-sided drives. The four disk sides are addressing as ifthey were separate dri ves on the exi sti ng four DRIVE SELECT input 1i nes.Detailed instructions on input configuration and jumper status are presentedbelow under Side Select Options.

CUSTOMER STRAPPABLE OPTIONS

Option 2

This option allows up to eight drives to be multiplexed together. The fourDRIVE SELECT lines are used for addressing the drive. DRIVE SELECT 1 is usedto enable the DRIVE SELECT 2 (binary 1), DRIVE SELECT 3 (binary 2,), and DRIVESELECT 4 (binary 4) address lines. The logical drive assignment isaccomplished by properly jumpering traces 01, 02, and 04, where 01 = (binary1), 02 = (binary 2), 04 = (binary 4). The jumper pads are arranged to appearas a 3 X 3 matrix. Within each column, the center pad must be jumpered to anadjacent logical 1 or logical 0 pad. The proper jumpers for each drive selectnumber are shown in the table below.

Installation (refer to the PCB Option Features illustration):

1. Add a 74L85, 4-bit comparator IC in PCB location lK.

2. Jumper trace DDS.

3. Unplug trace DSI-0S4.

4. Properly jumper traces 01, 02, and 04.

TROUBLESHOOTING

GENERAL

This section presents troubleshooting information dealing with the most commondisk drive functional errors; namely, Not Ready, Seek Error, Read Error, WriteError, and No Head Load. The troubleshooting if these errors is accomplishedby systematic progression through a flowchart routine.

DEFINITIONS OF QUMETRAK 242 FUNCTIONAL ERRORS

Not Ready

Seek Error

Read Error

Write Error

No Head Load

A condition in which the controller fails to receive a Readysignal from the disk drive when it expects to receive one.

A condition in which the disk drive is unable to access aparticular disk side or track, or to confirm track 00 accessto the controller.

A condition in which the disk drive is unable to recover datapreviously written onto the disk.

A condition in which the disk drive is unable to write dataonto a disk.

A condition in which the R/W heads fail to load onto a disk.This condition may be associated with any of the above errors.

TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUE

Effective troubleshooting should always begin with a thorough visualinspection. Look for such things as faulty wiring, damaged or misalignedcomponents, and the presense of forei gn matter such as dust. Inspect foranything that could obviously alter the performance of the disk drive.

Next, proceed to isolate the problem to the disk, disk drive, or controller.

Disk related malfunctions can be easily isolated by comparing the performanceof the suspect disk to one known to be in good condition. Most disk problemscan be attributed to either soft or hard errors. Soft errors resulting fromcontamination of the disk surface, by such things as dust or body oi 1, areusually cause by careless handling. Soft errors diminish the accurateread/write capability of the disk, but do not necessarily render the diskunusable. Conversely, hard errors caused by such things as scratches,abrasions, etc., permanently damage the disk.

Likewise, a quick and easy way to determine if a disk drive is defective ornot, is to exchange the original unit with one that is known to be fullyfunctional. Verify that the disk drive is installed correctly. Specifically,check to see that the power requirements are satisfied and that the strappableootions are configured correctly. Proceed to the troubleshooting flowchartsto further isolate a disk drive malfunction.
