CSA Group Information Technology - 130 mm Optical Disk Cartridges for Information Interchange - Capacity: 2 Gbytes per Cartridge (Adopted ISO/IEC 13842:1995, first edition, 1995-12-15)

Scope This International Standard specifies   the conditions for conformance testing and the Reference Drive the environments in which the cartridges are to be operated and stored the mechanical, physical and dimensional characteristics of the cartridge, so as to provide mechanical interchangeability between data processing systems the format of the information on the disk, both embossed and user-written, including the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors, the error correction codes, the modulation methods used the characteristics of the embossed information on the disk the magneto-optical characteristics of the disk, enabling processing systems to write data onto the disk the minimum quality of user-written data on the disk, enabling data processing systems to read data from the disk. This International Standard provides for interchange between optical disk drives. Together with a Standard for volume and file structure it provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
