the adoption of ISO/IEC 10994:1992 as an American National Standard.
The public review extends from October 11, 1996 to December 10, 1996.
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of 90 mm flexible disk
cartridges recorded at 31 831 ftprad using modified frequency modulation
recording, on 80 tracks on each side. Such flexible disk cartridges are identified
as ISO Type 303. It specifies the mechanical, physical and magnetic
characteristics of the cartridge, so as to provide physical interchangeability
between data processing systems. it also specifies the method of recording, the
quality of the recorded signals, the track layout and the track format. Together
with ISO 9293, this International Standard provides for full data interchange
between data processing systems.
