Abstract

See full text

A disk drive controller having a microprocessor and a sampled signal head positioning system measures and stores the relative rotational offsets between heads arranged in a stacked relationship and respective servo wedges on different disk surfaces. The offsets are stored in a table and subsequently applied to a servo wedge detection circuit to ensure that a next sequential wedge is detected after a head switch.
