Write protect detection section
A luminous diode and a photo-transistor are used
to detect write
protect
notch
of
the diskette and
jacket. (Writing
is
not
possible when
the
notch
is
covered with labeL)

3. Interface
1) Interface signal
All
lines are
of
TTL (transistor-transistor logic).
(1) Input signals
For input signals there are 10 kinds
of
input lines,
all
of
which are valid
at
low levels. These signal
lines are terminated
at
a 150-ohm
int~rated
resistor fitted
in
the
IC
socket
of
drive
1.
The
signal voltage levels are
as
follows.
High
level
I
Invalid 2.4
to
5.25V
Low level
I
Valid o
to
OAV
Input impedance
Pull-up

Index detection section
This section consists
of
a luminous diode and a
phototransistor. An index hole
of
the
diskette
is
detected by this section
to
determine the starting
point
of
a track.
8) Track 00 detection section
A carriage position
is
detected with a limit switch.
When
the
carriage has reached the track
00
point,
track
00
signal
is
emitted.
9)
Control electronics section
The electric circuit
to
control each mechanism
is
composed of 2 sheets
of
PWB.
One
is
to
control
the
DC
motor
control circuit. The
other
is
to
control
other
circuits, say, detection and other
functions with respect
to
read/write, step, head
load, and
other
signals.
10) Diskette protect mechanism
Shutting
the
front door, with the diskette incom-
pletely set in, can give damage
to
the
diskette, thus
shortening its life-time.
To
prevent such a draw-
back, this mechanism has been adopted so
that
the
front door
connot
be closed if
the
diskette
is
improperly in.

CD
Drive select signals (0
to
3)
MZ-80SFD
is
connectable up
to
4 units.
These signals are used
to
select a desired one of
the
four drive units.
At low levels of drive select signal,
RIW
head
is
loaded
to
cause the operation indicator
to
light up.
Note)
The drive requires
to
be set with a drive select
switch
to
meet the position of use (Drive No. 1
thru 4).
@ Motor
ON
signal
The drive motor starts when
the
signal level be-
comes low. This signal
level
becomes high about
2 seconds after completion
of
all operations,
if
no operation
is
commanded next. It thus inter-
rupts
the
motor, extending the service life
of
motor.
@ Direction select signal
The signal
is
given
to
designate
the
shifting
direction
of
R
IW
head, when the
step
pulse
is
input.
High
level- - .
Out
direction (to diskette
outer
portion)
Low
level
- - -
IN
direction (to diskette center)
@Step
signal
This signal
is
given
to
move the
RNoJ
head
in
the
direction designated by the direction select signal.
The operation
is
done
in
the
course
of
changing
from low levels
to
high levels.
