Abstract
A data recording apparatus is adapted to write and read digital data on and from a recording medium such as a tape, a disk or the like driven by a driving mechanism, so as to be applicable to recording of computer data, collection of experiment data in a variety of experiment instruments, recording of a variety of observation data, and so on. For writing and reading data while controlling the driving mechanism to run and stop the recording medium, a buffer memory is provided in order to coordinate a data recording or reproduction effected on the recording medium with a data transfer speed of a data transferred from and to an external apparatus such as a host computer. The data recording and reproducing amount and the operation of the driving mechanism are controlled based on the data transfer speed of data transferred to the buffer memory.
