Winchester
1. Winchester was the code name for IBM's
project of developing a completely new kind of disk drive
(in the early '70s). The typical feature of this
technology is a permanently hermetically enclosed disk
head area.
2. Cathedral city in Hampshire, UK.
Write Precompensation
With the change of the speed of the disk
relative to the head (changes from track to track due to
varying disk diameter), the data bit also travels within
the read window margin. In order that this does not lead
to read errors, the write data are shifted in time. This
is done starting with a specific track.
