National bodies that are members of ISOorIEC participate in the d
36、evelopment of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISOandIEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governm
37、ental, in liaison with ISOandIEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISOandIEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IECJTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication
38、as an International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC11559 was prepared by European Computer Manufacturers Associations (as ECMA-152) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Joint Technical Committee IS
39、O/IECJTC1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISOandIEC.

40、) BSI 01-2000 1 Introduction ISO/IEC 11559 incorporates all the specifications of ISO9661, together with extensions and modifications which specify the additional features of an extended format that also allows higher capacities to be achieved. The specifications of the tape, cartridge, recorded sig
41、nal, recording method and most of the recorded format are identical with those in ISO9661. It is not intended that this International Standard replaces ISO9661. Existing drives and cartridges which conform to ISO9661 will continue to do so and will not conform to all requirements of this Internation
42、al Standard. Drives conforming to this International Standard will be able to write on, and read from, cartridges conforming to ISO9661. Section 1. General 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a12,7mm wide, 18-track magnetic tape cartridge, to en
43、able interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the format and the recording method, thus allowing, together with ISO1001, full data interchange by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. The cartridge and recording method are identical with those d
44、escribed in ISO9661. This International Standard specifies extensions to the transformation of data before it is formatted as in ISO9661. These extensions specify a method for increasing the utilization of the tape by combining smaller blocks of data into extended blocks; specify a method for identi
45、fying whether the recorded data has been processed and, if it has been processed, the algorithm used for processing; specify a method for including recorded data blocks conforming to this International Standard and recorded data blocks conforming to ISO9661 on the same tape. The permissible routes f
46、or the flow of data are shown inAnnex H. 2 Conformance 2.1 Magnetic tape cartridge A magnetic tape cartridge shall be in conformance with this International Standard if the cartridge meets all the requirements of clauses4 and6 to8; the recording on the tape meets the requirements of clauses9 to13; f
47、or each recorded packet the algorithm used for processing the data therein, if processed data has been recorded, has (have) been registered and the registered identification is included in Byte13 of the Packet ID Block of this packet (see11.2). NOTE 1If the algorithm has not been registered Byte 13
48、shall be set to (FF). 2.2 Generating system A system generating a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance with this International Standard if all the recordings that it makes on a tape meet the mandatory requirements of this International Standard. A claim of c
49、onformance shall state whether or not one, or more, registered algorithms are implemented and, if so, the registered number(s) of all implemented algorithm(s). 2.3 Receiving system A system receiving a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance with this International Standard if it is able to handle any recording made on the tape according to this International Standard. In particular it shall be able to recognize the occurrence of extended blocks
