TLDR
In this paper, an interface is provided to a host controller for reading out data on a compact disc, and read out data is converted from parallel to serial format, and transmitted with a clock stream to the host controller.Abstract:
A drive apparatus for an optical disc read system. An interface is provided to a host controller for reading out data on a compact disc. The read out data is converted from parallel to serial format, and transmitted with a clock stream to the host controller. Host controller commands are transmitted to the drive apparatus which recognizes the command as either allowable or non-allowable. The interface provides signalling to the host controller of drive error conditions, spin up/non-spin up conditions, and non-allowable command situations for the controller.read more

Restore method and apparatus for disk drive
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for restoring the electromagnetic read/write head of a disk drive from a position between a data-field track located closest to the axis of rotation of the disk loaded in the drive and a data field track located furthest to such axis-of-rotation, to a position over the latter datafield track is presented.
