Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve efficiency for a write processing by setting write to a magnetic disk to be automatic or manual, detecting it when write is made automatic whether a reject lever is turned to a set state or a reset state and setting a disk unit device to automatic write when the rejecting lever is turned to the setting state. CONSTITUTION:When a magnetic disk 4 is operated, a power source is turned on and a system is started. Then, an automatic/manual write setting means 11 sets whether the reset of the disk 4, namely, a writable state is set manually or automatically. When it is set automatically, whether a rejecting lever 5 is set or not is decided according to the state of a rejecting lever switch 12, and when the rejecting lever is set, it is decided whether a write inhibiting seal as a write protection is attached to the disk 4 or not. When the seal is not attached, an automatic write control signal is sent from a write control means 13 to a disk unit device 14 and write is executed to the disk 4 loaded on the device 14.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a magnetic disk writing device that automatically controls a disk unit device to enter a writable mode when a magnetic disk is inserted into the disk unit device. It is related to.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is an external view showing a conventional disk unit device. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the disk unit device, 2
1 is a magnetic disk mounting section formed in the main body 1, and a rotatable eject lever 5 is provided at the magnetic disk entrance/exit section 3 to ensure the mounting of the magnetic disk 4.

3(a) shows the state in which the magnetic disk 4 is taken out from the magnetic disk mounting section 2, and FIG. 3(b) shows the state in which the magnetic disk 4 is inserted into the magnetic disk mounting section 2 again from the magnetic disk entrance/exit section 3. It shows the state where it is fully installed. Further, FIG. 3(c) shows a state in which the magnetic disk 4 is set by rotating the reject lever 5 after it has been installed.

FIG. 4 shows a conventional magnetic disk writing device, in which 6 is a writable command input means such as a keyboard, and 7 is a disk unit device 8 that receives a writable command.
This is a write control means for controlling and commanding writing to the magnetic disk 4.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, the magnetic disk 4 is on the disk unit device! !
i! It is mounted on the magnetic disk mounting section 2, and is driven with the reject lever 5 closed as shown in FIG. 3(c). Further, the magnetic disk unit device 8 is
Simply mounting the magnetic disk 4 in this manner or closing the eject lever 5 does not result in a writable mode, and the writable command input means 6
By inputting a write enable command to the write control means 7, a mode is set in which writing to the magnetic disk 4 is possible for the first time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since the conventional magnetic disk writing device is configured as described above, in order to write to the magnetic disk 4 in the disk unit device, the magnetic disk 4 must be
After the magnetic disk '3AM section 2 is loaded as described above, a writable command must be manually input using the writable command input means 6, and when the magnetic disk 4 is frequently attached/detached, Such manual operations are troublesome, and in some cases, there are problems such as forgetting to input the writable command.

This invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and even when a magnetic disk is frequently attached to and detached from the magnetic disk mounting part of a disk unit device, even if a write enable command is not input. To obtain a magnetic disk writing device capable of automatically writing to a magnetic disk only by setting a reject lever.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the magnetic disk writing device according to the present invention, automatic/manual writing setting means sets whether writing to the magnetic disk is automatic or manual, and when automatic writing is selected, the reset I-lever is in a set state. or a reset state using a reject lever switch, and in the automatic writing setting state, when the reject lever switch is detected to be in a set state, the write control means makes the disk unit device automatically writeable. It was designed to be controlled.

[Effect]

The write control means in this invention automatically sets the disk unit device to a writable mode in accordance with the state of the reject lever switch, thereby preventing files on the magnetic disk when the magnetic disk is frequently inserted and removed. or programs can be saved or copied automatically, without any manual intervention.

To efficiently perform writing work on a magnetic disk.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes automatic/manual writing setting means such as a keyboard, which sets whether writing to the magnetic disk is to be performed automatically or manually. 12 is a reject lever switch that responds to the operation of the reject lever 5;

This detects whether the reject lever 5 is in the 1~ state or the reset state, and electrical, magnetic, or optical switching means are used. Reference numeral 13 denotes a write control means, which outputs a control signal to enable automatic writing when the reject lever switch 12 detects the set state of the reject lever 5 in the q-write setting state. Reference numeral 14 denotes a disk unit device, which executes writing of files and programs to the magnetic disk 4 upon receiving the control signal to enable automatic writing.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, to copy files and programs to the magnetic disk 4, turn on the power and start up the system (
Step 5T21). You can also select whether to reset the magnetic disk 4 (writable) manually or automatically.
Step 5
T22) If the operator answers that it will be done manually using the automatic/manual writing setting means 11 such as a keyboard, the process is terminated; on the other hand, if the operator answers that it will be done automatically, the process proceeds to the next process. . Next, the reject lever switch 1 determines whether or not the reject lever 5 is set.
If the magnetic disk 4 is set, it is determined whether the magnetic disk 4 is normal or not (step 5T24). ). In other words, in this step 5T24, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality such as the magnetic disk 4 being installed upside down in the magnetic disk mounting section 2 or the magnetic disk 4 not being installed. Rerun the process. Further, if it is determined to be normal, it is determined whether or not a write protection sticker as a write protection I- is affixed to the magnetic disk 4 (step 5T25), and if it is affixed, step 5T23 and subsequent processes are executed.

On the other hand, if the write-protection sticker is not affixed,
The magnetic disk 4 is made into a writable state (step 5T26). That is, the write control means 13 outputs a control signal to enable automatic writing to the disk unit device 14, and this disk unit device 14 writes to the magnetic disk 4 mounted thereon. When writing is performed using the automatic input described above, simply by repeatedly loading the magnetic disk 4 into the disk unit device 14, the process from step 5T23 to step S "1" 26 is cyclically repeated. will enter write mode.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the automatic/manual writing setting means sets whether writing to the magnetic disk is automatic or manual, and when automatic writing is selected,
The reject lever switch detects whether the reject lever is in the set state or the reset state, and when the reject lever switch detects that the reject lever is in the set state in the automatic write setting state, the write control means Since the unit device is configured to be controlled to enable automatic writing, the conventional manual input of commands that is required every time a magnetic disk is inserted into or removed from the magnetic disk mounting portion of the disk unit device is completely eliminated. Files and programs can be automatically saved and copied to the magnetic disk each time the magnetic disk is reinstalled until the automatic/manual mode selection method (keyboard module) is used to manually switch the mode. This has the effect of streamlining the writing process to the disk.
