Abstract: A data storage area of a data storage device can be used to communicate information between the data storage device and an external device or software. In some examples, configuration data stored within the data storage area can be used to determine a subset of data to copy or move from a first data storage medium to a second data storage medium. The data storage area can be a unique partition and the data storage device can locate partition information to determine a location of the partition. The data storage device can then use the partition to store data for two-way communication between the data storage device and an external system, device, or software.

Abstract: The grain and fertiliser conveyor (10) of the present invention transports particulate material quickly and efficiently whilst minimising damage to the material (75) being transported. The conveyor includes an elongated housing (14) which houses a conveyor belt (16) adapted to receive material through a catchment hopper at a lower end of the housing and transport the material to the upper end of the housing for discharge therefrom. The conveyor belt (16) is both cleated (66) and bordered (68, 70) which allows for larger volumes of material to be conveyed without contacting the side walls of the housing (14) and hence minimising damage to the material. Further, the conveyor (10) includes a non-complex mechanism for tensioning and de-tensioning the belt (16).
