CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 13842-00 (R2009)

Information Technology - 130 mm Optical Disk Cartridges for Information Interchange - Capacity: 2 Gbytes per Cartridge
This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 13842:1995. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies - the conditions for conformance testing and the Reference Drive; - the environments in which the cartridges are to be operated and stored; - the mechanical, physical and dimensional characteristics of the cartridge, so as to provide mechanical interchangeability betwe en data processing systems; - the format of the information on the disk, both embossed and user-written, including the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors, the error correction codes, the modulation methods used; - the characteristics of the embossed information on the disk; - the magneto-optical characteristics of the disk, enabling processing systems to write data onto the disk; - the minimum quality of user-written data on the disk, enabling data processing systems to read data from the disk. This International Standard provides for interchange between optical disk drives. Together with a Standard for volume and file structure it provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
