The characteristics are advantageous for: a) Interchange of sets of text files or of small files, or of multiple-part document files; b) Interchange of any file when sender and recipient wish to carry out frequent update of the file between inte

Since the publication of the lirst version of this International Standard, many types of high capacity Flexible Disk Cartridges (FDCs) and Optical Disk Cartridges (ODCs) have come in use. All the descriptions (except annex B) of an FDC, t

32、hroughout this International Standard, can be applied to an ODC as well. It is intended that existing file systems for FDCs, possibly slightly modified, are applicable to ODCs. ODC specific volume and file structure standards are, e.g., ISOlIEC 13346 and ISO/IEC 13490. This International Standard is

33、 applicable to the new types of storage media because of revision at the following points: 4 Addition of the extended FDC Descriptors (clause 9) to the existing FDC Descriptors; b) Adoption of 16-bit File Allocation Table (FAT) entries (10.2) in addition to the existing 1Zbit FAT entries; cl Obsolet

34、ion of the Medium Identifier field (table 3 and subclause 9.2.9) because available values are exhausted and the field is no more used. . . . VIII AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSlllSOllEC 9293-l 994 American National Standard for Information Technology - Volume and File Structure of Disk Cartridges fo

35、r Information Interchange Section 1 - General 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the volume and file structure of disk cartridges for the interchange of information between users of information processing systems. It also specifies an optional record structure. Note - All the descriptions

36、 (except those in annex B) of Flexible Disk Cartridges (FDC) can be applied to Optical Disk Cartridges (ODC) as well This International Standard is applicable to various types of disk cartridges including those identified in clause 3, and other types which may be the subject of future International

37、Standards. This Ihtemational Standard specifies the location of files of information on an FDC and also specifies a set of recorded descriptors which identifies: - the files which may be interchanged; - the locations of the files; - the attributes of the files; - the location of unused space for rec

38、ording on the FDC; - the location of defective recording space on the FDC; - the attributes of the FDC and of the descriptors recorded on it. This International Standard also specifies requirements for the processes which are provided within information processing systems to enable information to be

39、 interchanged between different systems, utilizing recorded FDCs as the medium of interchange. For this purpose it specifies the functions within systems which are intended to originate or to receive FDCs which conform to this International Standard. This International Standard provides a method for

40、 the allocation of space that is independent of the number of files which are recorded on the volume. It also enables the sizes of the recorded files to be expanded or contracted during processing, subject only to the availability of unused recording space when needed. The content and organization o

41、f the files are not specified by this International Standard and are subject to agreement between the originator and the recipient of the interchanged FDC. 2 Conformance 2.1 Conformance of an FDC An FDC shall be in conformance with this International Standard when all information recorded on it conf

42、orms to the requirements of section two of this International Standard. A prerequisite to such conformance is the conformance of the FDC to the appropriate International Standard for data interchange by means of FDCs. 2.2 Conformance of an information processing system An information processing syst

43、em shall be in conformance with this International Standard if it meets the set of requirements specified in section three of this Intemational Standard either for an originating system, or for a receiving system, or for both types of system. A statement of conformance shall identify which of these

44、sets of requirements is met by the system. Conformance with this International Standard does not require conformance with section 4. 1 1 ISOAEC 9293: 1994 Q 0 ISOIIEC 3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of thi
