The length of the data field is equal to that of the logical data block which is specified with a parameter in the MODE SELECT command. Any even number between 512 and 528 bytes can be specified as the length. 3 - 8 C141-E128-01EN

Figure 3.6
Sector format
Each sector on the track consists of the following fields:
(1)
Gaps (G1, G2, G3)
The gap length at the time of formatting (initializing) is listed in Figure 3.6.
No pattern is written
on the gap field.
(2)
PLO Sync
In this field, pattern X'00' in the length in bytes listed in Figure 3.6 is written.
(3)
Sync Mark (SM1, SM2)
In this field, special pattern in the length in bytes listed in Figure 3.6 is written.
This special
pattern indicates the beginning of the data field.
(4)
Data field (DATA1-DATA4)
User data is stored in the data field of the sector.
The length of the data field is equal to that of the
logical data block which is specified with a parameter in the MODE SELECT command.
Any
even number between 512 and 528 bytes can be specified as the length.
