DATA
Frequently asked questions about MiniDisc Data Drive
Question What positioning Data? Where applications Data? Answer Data being positioned floppy replacement personal computer. addition, line-up MiniDisc-based consumer products planning (PDA, Still Camera, ViewCam, etc.). MiniDisc will offer single media across many application platforms. Yes, both storage options will coexist. Because MiniDisc Data drive being multiplexed over existing floppy cable, same storage slot accommodate either MDD. function will handled motherboard host cell within Super chip (for more information, please visit National Semiconductor booth). CD-ROM MiniDisc Data complimentary storage technologies. CD-ROM read only excellent tool software distribution. rewriteable very compact form factor makes ideal portable storage solution authoring personal multimedia content. will sample 17mm drive after with mass production '96. Target $200 OEM. 8/97 planning release 12.5mm drive with target capacity. There multiple sources media: Sony, Kurare, TDK, Hitachi, Maxcell, Idemitsu, Zeus. speed desktop drive will introduced 1996. capacity jump 650MB (4X) planned 1997. Today, 140MB disk contain still pictures plus minutes audio. However, motion picture standard been finalized. 2W/5V 101.6mm 123mm 17mm "MDIC" (Multidrive Interface Controller) developed National Semiconductor enhancement floppy disk controller. designed cell within Super control software implementation most functions drive. this manner, drive cost integration ease were significantly streamlined. Today, Sony Sharp. But, many manufacturers jumping into Audio market: JVC, Kenwood, Columbia, Sanyo, Fujitsu-Ten, Pioneer, Ten, Matsushita, etc. Minidisc data uncompressed data writing. Using popular compression algorithms available 140MB compressed 280MB+. Data transfer rate: 150KB/s Buffer memory: 512KB Yes. Access time: ~300ms
During transition period, will floppy disk coexist with MiniDisc?
What about CD-ROM?
What schedule first Data product? What target price data drive? What about other form factors? makes media today? there plan speed increases? Capacity increases? What about multimedia capabilities? What power consumption 17mm drive? What physical dimensions? What kind interface (i/f) does use?
offers MiniDisc Data drives?
140MB compressed data?
What some specifications? same data minidisk used Macintosh AT/PC environments?

MDIC
Frequently asked questions about MultiDrive Interface Controller
Question What does MDIC stand for? What MDIC? Answer MultiDrive Interface Controller-literally controls multiple kinds drives with controller interface. MDIC interface used with personal computer which control MiniDisc Data Drives, Floppy Drives, Tape Backup Units, even CD-ROM drives. MDIC comprised hardware software which uses resources some common drive functions. drive control data signals multiplexed over floppy cable. conjunction with certain members National's Super Family, floppy cable signals routed parallel port, allowing easy connection external drives. MDIC will available early 1996, concurrent with samples Sharp MiniDisc Data drives which will built this interface. MDIC enhancement which used conjunction with standard floppy disk controller. MDIC uses floppy controller interface drives. drives system (including Sharp's MiniDisc Data Drives) still connect standard floppy cable. more drive information, please Sharp Corporation's booth here COMDEX. Yes, MDIC support roadmap future MiniDisc Drives including speeds. MultiDrive Interface will available standalone part cell which integrated with National's Super family parts. This allows retrofit solutions like cards, well motherboard-based parts like integrated Super I/Os. National Semiconductor worked with Sharp Corporation achieve best MiniDisc Data system solution lowest cost. MDIC direct result streamlining system host resources (like memory processing power). This unique combination hardware software brings superior storage, multimedia capability, entry cost MiniDisc Data Notebook Desktop PCs. Published pricing MDIC cell been finalized this time. However, interest please contact National Semiconductor representative latest details.
