3、st Standard ECMA-58 for file structure and labelling of 200 mm flexible disk cartridges.Further work led to the development and publication in 1984 of Standard ECMA-91 which is applicable to all flexible diskcartridges, in particular to those with FM recording on the Index Cylinder.For many purposes

4、 this Standard ECMA-91 provides a satisfactory data interchange pathway between different types ofinformation-processing systems. However, it imposes some restrictions on the operation of a system as follows:a) Each individual file must be recorded on the disk in a sequential, “batch-processing” mod

5、e. After a set of files has beenrecorded on the disk, a file cannot be extended beyond its pre-determined length.It is common practice in small systems for the user to inter-act continuously with the system to update files. Files having asuitable structure for this purpose are not within the provisi

6、ons of ECMA-91.It is necessary for the interchange cartridge to be created by an “export” copy process from the applications files, after theapplication has terminated. A similar “import” process is required in the receiving system.b) Limitations on the number of file labels permitted on an inter-ch

7、ange FDC prevents the full use of the disk space if theaverage size of files is significantly less than, say 20 Kbytes.For conventional data processing purposes this is mostly satisfactory. However, the file size typically encountered in textprocessing and small single-user systems are very much sma

8、ller and would lead to very inefficient use of the disk space.In view of these requirements it was decided to develop a second standard for volume and file structures of flexible diskcartridges. Work started in 1984 and led to the issue of the present Standard the provisions of which are based on al

9、readyexisting practice in general use world-wide. The new Standard has the following benevicial characteristics, in addition to thoseof ECMA-91.a) Direct updating of the interchange file by an interactive application is possible.b) There will be no limit on the number of individual files on a disk,

10、within the overall limitation of available space for holdingfiles, Any file can be extended whenever required.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

11、to carry out frequent update of the file between interchange cycles,for example files of commercial transactionsSince the publication of the first version of this Standard, many types of high capacity Flexible Disk Cartridges (FDCs) andOptical Disk Cartridges (ODCs) have come in use. All the descrip

12、tions (except annex B) of an FDC, throughout this ECMAStandard, can be applied to an ODC as well. It is intended that existing file systems for FDCs, possibly slightly modified, areapplicable to ODCs. ODC specific volume and file structure standards are, e.g., ECMA-167 and ECMA-168. This ECMAStandar

13、d is applicable to the new types of storage media because of revision at the following points:a) 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 12-bit FAT entriesc) Obsol

14、etion of the Medium Identifier field (table 3 and subclause 9.2.9) because available values are exhausted and the fieldis no more used.ECMA-107 is identical to ISO/IEC 9293.This ECMA Standard has been adopted by the General Assembly of June 1995.- i -Table of contentsSection 1 - General 11 Scope 12

36、 39- vi -.Section 1 - General1ScopeThis ECMA Standard specifies the volume and file structure of disk cartridges for the interchange of informationbetween users of information processing systems. It also specifies an optional record structure.NOTEAll the descriptions (except those in annex B) of Fle

37、xible Disk Cartridges (FDC) can be applied to Optical DiskCartridges (ODC) as well.This ECMA Standard is applicable to various types of disk cartridges including those identified in clause 3, and othertypes which may be the subject of future International Standards.This ECMA Standard specifies the l

38、ocation of files of information on an FDC and also specifies a set of recordeddescriptors which identifies:- the files which may be interchanged;- the locations of the files;- the attributes of the files;- the location of unused space for recording on the FDC;- the location of defective recording sp

39、ace on the FDC;- the attributes of the FDC and of the descriptors recorded on it.This ECMA Standard also specifies requirements for the processes which are provided within information processingsystems to enable information to be interchanged between different systems, utilizing recorded FDCs as the

40、 medium ofinterchange. For this purpose it specifies the functions within systems which are intended to originate or to receiveFDCs which conform to this ECMA Standard.This ECMA Standard provides a method for the allocation of space that is independent of the number of files whichare recorded on the

41、 volume. It also enables the sizes of the recorded files to be expanded or contracted duringprocessing, subject only to the availability of unused recording space when needed.The content and organization of the files are not specified by this ECMA Standard and are subject to agreementbetween the ori

42、ginator and the recipient of the interchanged FDC.2 Conformance2.1 Conformance of an FDCAn FDC shall be in conformance with this ECMA Standard when all information recorded on it conforms to therequirements of section two of this ECMA Standard.A prerequisite to such conformance is the conformance of

43、 the FDC to the appropriate International Standard fordata interchange by means of FDCs.2.2 Conformance of an information processing systemAn information processing system shall be in conformance with this ECMA Standard if it meets the set ofrequirements specified in section three of this ECMA Stand

44、ard either for an originating system, or for a receivingsystem, or for both types of system. A statement of conformance shall identify which of these sets of requirements ismet by the system.Conformance with this ECMA Standard does not require conformance with section 4.3 ReferencesECMA-6:1991 7-Bit
