Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for providing position detection using a unique binary sequence encoded in indexing bits stored in servo wedges. The present invention generates a unique binary sequence (UBS) code and stores the bits of such a code in the indexing bits of the servo wedges. The bits are read from the servo wedges and used to provide unique identification of head position. Each servo wedge and each data field can be uniquely identified, even servo wedges and data fields under different heads. The present invention may be used to provide initial position detection, position verification during normal operation, and position verification upon head switching. When used for position verification, the present invention uses a confidence block to determine the confidence level with which the head is believed to be correctly positioned.

Abstract: A read/write head lead assembly includes a terminator with a housing having a space adapted to receive a plurality of leads into which a plurality of electrically conductive contacts, each having a first portion within the space and a second portion extending from the housing to a location external the space, the second portions having contact surfaces in a common plane, to permit soldering to a preamplifier circuit board and a plurality of head leads with each of the head leads electrically connected with one of the contacts at a location within the space.
