MFM: Encyclopedia II - Hard disk - Manufacturers

Most of the world's hard disks are now manufactured by just a handful of large firms: Seagate, Maxtor (now owned by Seagate), Western Digital, Samsung, and Hitachi, the former drive manufacturing division of IBM. Fujitsu continues to make specialist notebook and SCSI drives but exited the mass market in 2001. Toshiba is a major manufacturer of 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch notebook drives. Hard d ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Hard disk - Addressing modes

There are two modes of addressing the data blocks on more recent hard disks. The older mode is CHS addressing (Cylinder-Head-Sector), used on old ST-506 and ATA drives and internally by the PC BIOS. The more recent mode is the LBA (Logical Block Addressing), used by SCSI drives and newer ATA drives (ATA drives power up in CHS mode for historical reasons). CHS describes the disk space in terms of its physical dimensions, data-wise; this is the traditional way of accessing a disk on IBM PC compatible hardware, and while it works well fo ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Hard disk - Access and interfaces

A hard disk is generally accessed over one of a number of bus types, including ATA (IDE, EIDE), Serial ATA, SCSI, SAS, FireWire (aka IEEE 1394), USB, and Fibre Channel. Back in the days of the ST-506 interface, the data encoding scheme was also important. The first ST-506 disks used Modified Frequency Modulation (MFM) encoding (which is still used on the common "1.44 MB" (1.4 MiB) 3.5-inch floppy), and ran at a data rate of 5 megabits per second. Later on, controllers using 2,7 RLL (or just "RLL") encoding increased this by half, to 7.5 megabits pe ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Amstrad CPC - The Amstrad CPC vs. its competitors

Since the Amstrad CPC was specifically built to compete with the ZX Spectrum and C64, and was a relatively late entrant into the 1980s 8-bit home computer market, comparisons between those computer systems were very frequent on specialized magazines but also among players themselves. Also, the three machines were practically the most software-wise supported 8-bit home computers in history, and had a virtually identical selection of games, although with major differences in qualit ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Hard disk - History

The first hard disk drive was the IBM 350 Disk File, invented by Reynold Johnson and introduced in 1955 with the IBM 305 computer. This drive had fifty 24 inch platters, with a total capacity of five million characters. A single head was used for access to all the platters, making the average access time very slow. The IBM 1301 Disk Storage Unit, announced in 1961, introduced the usage of a separate head for each data surface. The first disk drive to use removable media was the IBM 1311 drive, which used the IBM 1316 disk ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Apple II family - Clones

Like the IBM PC, the Apple II was frequently cloned, both in the United States and abroad. According to some sources (see below), there were more than 190 different models of Apple II clones were manufactured. Many of these had "fruit" names (e.g. "Pineapple") to indicate to the initiated that they were Apple II clones. For many years the most widely-used microcomputer in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe was the Agat, a Russian App ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Apple II family - General

Apple II family - Apple II media. The Disk II floppy drive used 5¼-inch floppy disks. The first disk operating systems for the Apple II were DOS 3.1 and DOS 3.2, which stored 113.75 KiB on each disk. After about two years, DOS 3.3 was introduced, storing 140 KiB thanks to a minor hardware change on the disk controller. The user community discontinued use of DOS 3.2 except for running legacy software. A program called MUFFIN was provided with DOS 3.3 to allow users to copy ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Pyongyang - Landmarks

The capital has been completely rebuilt since the Korean War (1950–1953). It is designed with wide avenues, imposing monuments, and monolithic buildings. The tallest structure in the city is the uncompleted 1,082 foot (330 m) Ryugyong Hotel. This hotel has 105 floors, encloses 3.9 million square feet (360,000 m²) of floor space, and topped by seven rotating restaurants. However, construction has been stalled since the early 1990s. The ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Pyongyang - Transportation

Pyongyang has a two-line underground metro system which has a length of 22.5 km. There is also a tram and trolleybus service. There are not as many private automobiles as in Western cities, although the state government operates a sizable fleet of Mercedes-Benz limousines for Party bureaucrats. Many residents walk, cycle, or use the subway because of lack of other options for transportation. State-owned Air Koryo has scheduled flights from Sunan Capital International Airport to Beijing (PEK), Shenyang (SHE), Bangkok (BKK), and Vladivo ...

The first Apple II computers went on sale on June 5, 1977 with a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 4 KB of RAM, an audio cassette interface, and the Integer BASIC programming language built into the ROMs. The video controller displayed 24 lines by 40 columns of upper-case-only text on the screen, with NTSC composite video output for display on a monitor, or on a TV set by way of an RF modulator. Third-party slot cards and add-ins were available for 80-co ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Amstrad CPC - Hardware tricks on the CPC series

Simple reprogramming of the Motorola 6845 CRTC could produce extended graphics modes up to 784×384 pixels through overscan. Careful timing of palette switches could theoretically allow all 27 hardware colours to be visible in any display mode but due to CPU burden, programs with unpredictable on screen motion (such as games) would typically only find time to change palette once or twice per frame. The CRTC could also be tricked into splitting the display along any horizontal line, allowing the video address to be arbitrarily changed at that point. This meant that it was possible to har ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Amstrad CPC - Software

Amstrad CPC - Built-in BASIC and operating system. Like most home computers at the time, the CPC had its OS and a BASIC interpreter built in as ROM. It used Locomotive BASIC - a variant specifically written for the CPC hardware which as a result was faster, more comfortable and more powerful than the generic but common Microsoft BASIC used by the Commodore 64 and MSX amongst others. It was particularly notable for providing easy access to the machine's video and audio resources in contrast to the arcane POKE comm ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Amiga Old File System - History

Originally known as Amiga File System, the filesystem itself was very similar to that of Xerox Alto Filesystem. Development was from 1982 to 1985 as the filesystem of TripOS. It received the nickname of "Old" when Fast File System was released with Amiga OS 1.3. OFS is very good for repairing the filesystem in the event of a problem, although the so called DiskDoctor provided by Commodore quickly earned the name DiskDestroyer, because it could not repair No-DOS type autostart disks provided by third party software-manufacturers as boo ...

MFM: Encyclopedia II - Amstrad CPC - The Amstrad CPC sold as a complete system

Amstrad initially promoted the CPC as being an improvement on the competing ZX Spectrum and C64 because it was a complete system - including everything required to use the machine in one box. Compared to a C64 or a ZX Spectrum, the Amstrad CPCs shipped with their own monitor, had a built in tape recorder or floppy disk drive and even a small loudspeaker. This marketing gave a more "professional" appeal to the Amstrad CPC by marketing it in the same wa ...
