Abstract
This invention discloses a data storage drive system. The system includes a pickup head for performing data access functions connected to a secondary winding of a transformer. The transformer further includes a primary winding connected to a driver controller provided with a pre-amplifier for generating a data writing pulse. The secondary winding further having an pulse decay-constant adjustment capacitor and a pulse decay-constant adjustment inductor for adjusting a pulse decay constant for generating less than ten-percent sag for the data writing pulse whereby the writing pulse can overwrite an entire bit-length onto a data track In a preferred embodiment, the pickup head and the secondary winding are configured as a removable and replaceable module. In a preferred embodiment, the pickup head is provided with signal reading and writing head for a magnetic or optical flat data-storage medium. In another preferred embodiment, the pickup head is provided with signal reading and writing head for an optical flat data-storage medium. In another preferred embodiment, the drive system is further provided with an optical to electrical signal converter for converting optical signals retrie…
