IBM 3363 Optical Disk Drive
The IBM 3363 Optical Disk Drive is a new high performance
removable disk storage device. It utilizes the high density
characteristics of optical storage technology to achieve
very high capacity (200 million bytes) on a small 130MM
(5.25 Inch) removable disk. It is designed to attach to the
PC, PC/XT(TM), Portable, PC/AT(R), PC/3270, AT/3270, and all
models of the IBM Personal System/2 via a special controller
card connecting to the PC I/O Bus. Two drives can be
attached to a single controller card. Depending on the IBM
PC model, from one to four controller cards can be supported
yielding from 200MB to 1.6GB of removable, write once,
on-line storage capacity. The 3363 consists of three models
(A01, A11, and B01), which are external standalone units.
There is also an internal optical disk drive for Personal
System/2 models 60 and 80 only. This drive is feature #8700
on those models. The device software contains a file driver
providing commands which are compatible with most PC/DOS
magnetic disk commands. It also provides extensions to
PC/DOS supporting multiple versions of files and files of
greater than 32 million bytes. The 3363 is recommended as a

own power supply, while the internal feature derives its
power from the PC. The 3363 can be attached to most current
models of the IBM PC as well as all models of the IBM
Personal System/2. The exceptions are: PCjr(tm), PC
Convertible, the PC/370 models, and the RT/PC. The IBM 3363
attaches to the IBM PC via a new controller card which plugs
into the system board and is connected to the PC standard
I/O BUS. One or two drives can be attached to the
controller card.
The IBM 3363 utilizes a small 130MM (5.25 inch) write once,
removable optical disk, housed in a protective cartridge.
The optical disk is a plastic media with recording on one
side. The cartridge has a 200 million byte capacity.
Depending on the PC model, from one to eight IBM Optical
Disk Drives may be attached yielding a total of 200MB to
1.6GB of on-line direct access storage.
The IBM 3363 utilizes a spiral format consisting of 512 byte
sectors, 23 sectors per track, and 17,100 tracks. Data is
read or written using a Laser Read/Write head. The IBM
Optical Disk Cartridge can be pre-recorded with data much
like diskettes are today. Thus large electronic text or
data bases can be distributed on a reliable media that can
also be updated as the data changes.
The IBM 3363 has a burst data rate of up to 2.5
Megabits/second at the output of the read amplifier, with
peak data transfer rate being a function of the attaching
system. Data is recorded contiguously along the spiral
starting at the first available sector. The end user
application can optimize performance by taking advantage of
this recording technique to produce a 64,000 byte streaming
effect, when doing large sequential transfers of data, with
a single command.
Average seek time over one-third of the disk surface (5,700
tracks; 67 million bytes) is less than 230 milliseconds.
The IBM 3363 also has a shorter average seek time of less
than 45 milliseconds for up to 101 tracks (1.2 million
bytes). This is accomplished by simply changing the angle
of the laser beam.
The IBM 3363 is supported by new software and optical BIOS
which provide extensions to DOS. The software design
incorporates a directory structure that optimizes the
directory search speed and the disk space utilization. The
directory design in conjunction with a new File System
Driver makes the IBM 3363 appear rewritable to the end user
application. The software support also provides
compatibility with most DOS commands.
New functions such as multiple versions are available with
the IBM 3363 software. With this support the end user can
keep back versions of the same file name. Manipulation of
versions is supported by new commands, designed to look like
standard DOS commands. They provide the hooks to enable end
user applications to take advantage of the versions
capability for any file. Another new function, provided by
the IBM 3363 software support, is the ability to create data
files greater than 32 million bytes in size. This provides
flexibility in the end user's capability of using the 200
million byte capacity of the IBM Optical Disk Cartridge.
There is also a new Save/Restore function allowing the end
user to save only changed data files, while maintaining the
integrity of the directory structure. This ability together
with versions support provides end users with an automatic
audit trail and archive for future reference. Restoring
data files can be accomplished by file name, a particular
version of a file, all versions of a file, or all files.

SCHEDULE
General availability of the 3363 A01 and B01 is planned for
2nd Quarter 1987, the A11 is planned for 3rd Quarter 1987,
and Feature #8700 is planned for 4th Quarter 1987.
The IBM 3363 Optical Disk Drive is designed for use on all
supported, installed and on order IBM PCs where higher
capacity on-line storage is required. It should be viewed
as a supplement to a fixed disk, and for applications where
removability of the disk is important (i.e., security,
archive, etc.).
The IBM 3363 is IBM's first mass storage device designed
specifically for the IBM PC.
The IBM 3363 should be the storage unit of choice for those
IBM PC end users requiring a large capacity removable
storage device. Its 200MB capacity greatly expands the
on-line storage capability of the IBM PC. It also permits
the creation of files requiring greater than 32 million
bytes.
The IBM 3363 removable disk offers end users an excellent
archive media for compact storage of electronic reports, and
digital images. It also meets customer requirements for
economic distribution of large quantities of data, reports,
and electronic text to other locations of their
organization.
The IBM PC end users with large magnetic disks can use the
IBM 3363 software to automatically build a history of
updated files from their magnetic disk to the IBM 3363,
where they are stored as versions of the same file name.
This gives the end user a historical archive of their files
and can be used to restore lost data to the magnetic disk.

"5.25-inch to 3.5-inch Media Overview","IBM Announce",04-02-1987
5.25-inch to 3.5-inch Media Overview
Technological improvement and increased user requirements are common
to the industry and continue to drive product change. The 3.5-inch
diskette drive in the personal computer marketplace is an example of
such change. Critical to this type of change is a coherent method of
managing the change with minimal impact on our customers ongoing
information processing activities. This overview describes elements
of the transition needs brought about by the growing use of 3.5-inch
diskette-based products and the large existing inventory of 5.25-inch
diskette-based devices.
A significant number of IBM applications and operating systems are
available in both 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch media. In addition, many
Independent Software Publishers have produced programs that are
available in 3.5-inch media also.
Higher reliability, rugged packaging, greater storage capacity and
smaller size of the 3.5-inch diskette media and drive prompted IBM to
use this design for the new IBM Personal System/2 Family of products.
The IBM Personal System/2 Family system units utilize 3.5 inch
(internal) diskette drives only. All IBM Personal System/2 Family
systems can read and write 3.5-inch (1MB) diskettes which store a
total of 720K bytes of information. The IBM Personal System/2 Models
50, 60 and 80 can also read and write the 3.5-inch (2MB) diskettes
which store 1.44M bytes of information.
Consideration of customer requirements for transition to 3.5 inch
media led to development of devices to facilitate migration to
3.5-inch media products and for coexistence with 5.25-inch media
products.
Two external diskette drive products (3.5-inch and 5.25-inch) one
internal diskette drive (3.5-inch) option and electronic Data
Migration Facility accessory have been developed by IBM in support of
this media move to 3.5-inch. Use of these devices, networks and
other save restore/data interchange products provide the bridge
between the 3.5-inch and the 5.25 inch products.
TRANSITION CATEGORIES
The following definitions are used to define transition categories.
Migration A one way transfer of data and allowable* programs
from 5.25-inch to 3.5-inch media.
Coexistence A facility that provides for 5.25-inch family
environment and 3.5-inch to exchange data to reside
together but independent of each other.
Backup A facility that provides a means to copy the existing
data and allowable programs so that in case the
original media is damaged the data can be restored.
These facilities also support migration and
coexistence.
* Allowable programs are defined as IBM and Independent Software
Publisher programs which may be "backed up" or operated in
accordance with the license agreement and the software
manufacturer's operating instructions.
IBM grants permission to transfer IBM Licensed Programs to a new
medium. No additional rights are granted beyond those stated in the
original IBM Program License Agreement.
Permission to transfer non-IBM programs is subject to the applicable
licensing agreement that governs program use. It is recommended that
the program supplier be contacted to determine restrictions on
transfer.
Since some programs are "copy protected" or may restrict the number
of copies, the user has the responsibility to assure the transferred
program functions before erasing other copies of the program.
TRANSITION DEVICES
The following IBM developed devices are available to assist the user
in media management and/or conversion. These devices support
migration or coexistence requirements for different user environments.

AT(R) Models 319 and 339 (6450357 FC#0357) It allows the user to
utilize programs that are available on 3.5-inch diskettes, or to save
data onto 3.5-inch diskettes for use with an IBM Personal Computer
Convertible or IBM Personal IBM Personal System/2 Family system
products, or to copy allowable 5.25-inch programs.
(TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation.
(R) Registered trademark of the International Business Machines
Corporation.
Transition Application: The addition of the optional IBM 3.5-inch
720KB Internal Diskette Drive, to a IBM Personal Computer XT or IBM
Personal Computer AT will typically occur where that system is the
primary office system and the user wants to utilize data and
supported applications on 3.5-inch diskettes.
IBM Personal Computer 3.5 Inch (720KB) External Diskette Drive (4865
Model 001 & 002)
Description: The 4865 is offered on the IBM Personal Computer, IBM
Personal Computer XT and IBM Personal Computer AT. The external
diskette drive allows the utilization of data and allowable programs
on 3.5-inch diskettes. DOS and other programs requiring "A" Drive
cannot be loaded from this product.
Two models are available.
Model 1:
o Attaches to all models of 5150, 5155 and 5160 using the existing
5.25-inch Diskette Drive Adapter
o Requires DOS 3.2 (5.25-inch)
Model 2:
o Attaches to all 5170 models and Personal Computer XT Model 286
using the External Diskette Drive Adapter provided
o Requires DOS 3.2 (5.25-inch)
Transition Application: The addition of an optional 4865 will
typically occur where that system is the primary office system and
the user wants to utilize supported applications distributed on
3.5-inch diskettes. It provides for coexistence of 3.5-inch
diskettes with 5.25-inch 1.2MB and 5.25-inch 360KB diskette drives on
the same system and will allow the fewest number of additional
External Diskette Drives to be purchased where 3.5-inch systems
outnumber 5.25-inch systems.
The 3.5-inch (720KB) External Diskette drive provides I/O expansion
for "B" drive address and higher and can be a third diskette drive
on the system.
By attaching a 4865 prior to 3.5-inch system arrival, data and
allowable programs can be prepared in advance for the new system.
NEW DEVICES
5.25 Inch 360KB External Diskette Drive (4869)
The 4869 is an optional external 5.25-inch diskette "B drive"
attachment for the IBM Personal System/2 systems and requires an
adapter option.
Attachment of a 4869 allows users to convert data files and allowable
programs or to execute 5.25-inch media programs which do not require
"A" drive capability.
The 4869 is available for attachment to the IBM Personal System/2
3.5-inch system units to enhance conversion or operation of 5.25-inch
system applications. For specific compatibility see the media drive
compatibility table. For more detailed information, see VAD 87-080
and PCD 87-106. The 4869 is supported on Models 30-021, 50, 60, and
80.
Transition Application: In an establishment with multiple 5.25-inch
systems installed, the most likely process for converting to the new
systems will be on a phase-in basis. Given a gradual addition of
3.5-inch systems, the 5.25-inch systems will outnumber the new
systems for a period of time. By attaching a4869 to the IBM Personal
System/2 Family systems, it will allow all systems to coexist.
A Quick Reference Card is provided.
Example: If the installed base has 10 IBM Personal Computer XTs and
one IBM Personal System/2 Family system, the purchase of
one 5.25 Inch 360KB External Diskette Drive (4869) will
allow complete conversion.
If the number of 3.5-inch systems will exceed the 5.25-inch systems,
the 3.5-inch Internal or External drives should be considered.
Data Migration Facility
The Data Migration Facility (1501224 FC 5003) is a parallel port to
parallel port electronic data transfer device which can connect an
IBM Personal Computer, IBM Portable Personal Computer, IBM Personal
Computer XT or IBM Personal Computer AT to an IBM Personal System/2
Family system. It will be used by those users who want to transfer
data and allowable programs from their 5.25-inch system to the new
systems fixed disk or 3.5-inch media.
The conversion method requires a standard IBM printer cable (PN
1525612) to connect the IBM Personal Computer, IBM Portable Personal
Computer, IBM Personal Computer XT or IBM Personal Computer AT.
parallel port to the IBM Personal IBM Personal System/2Family
systems. Conversion is accomplished with provided software
consisting of complementary send and receive programs that emulate
the DOS Copy Command. One way communication capability from diskette
to diskette, fixed disk to fixed disk, or any combination thereof is
supported. The Family Data Migration Facility packaging contains a
5.25-inch diskette with a "send" program, the connector itself, and
the appropriate instructions for use. A "receive" program, also
required, has been included on the Starter Diskette packaged with
each IBM Personal System/2 Family system. DOS 2.0 or later is
required for the sending system and DOS 3.3 is required for the
receiving system. An IBM Personal Computer Printer Cable (PN
1525612) must be attached to one of the following printer cards on
the host IBM Personal Computer, IBM Portable Personal Computer, IBM
Personal Computer XT. IBM Personal Computer AT:
o Parallel interface card (#1505200)
o Monochrome/printer card (#1504900)
o Serial/parallel card (#6450215)
Transition Application: This conversion method can be used by
customers that are replacing their 5.25-inch system with a IBM
Personal System/2 Family system. Migration using this device
requires that the two systems be within the cable distance of the IBM
printer cable (PN 1525612).
A Quick Reference Card is provided.
Host-connected/LAN-connected Systems
In environments where different systems are currently connected
through a Host or are on the same LAN, transfer of data from one
system to another is common practice. The 3.5-inch systems can
participate in this exchange method as well.
OTHER OPTIONS
3363 Optical Disk Drive
The IBM 3363 Optical Disk Drive is a new high performance
removable disk storage device. It is designed to attach to the
Personal Computer, Personal Computer XT, IBM Portable Personal
Computer, IBM Personal Computer AT, PC/3270, AT/3270 and IBM Personal
System/2 Family Systems via a special controller card connecting to
the Personal Computer I/O Bus. Two drives can be attached to a
single controller card. The 3363 is available in three versions:
model A01 attaches to the current IBM Personal Computers and IBM
Personal System/2 Family model 30, model A11 attaches to the IBM
Personal System/2 Family models 50, 60 and 80, model B01 attaches to
both the A01 and A11 as a second drive. The adapter and software are
included with the drive. The storage device is recommended as an
alternative to a fixed disk, as a supplement to a fixed disk for
higher capacity storage, and for applications where removability of
the disk is important (e.g., security, archive, portable data, and
personal disks for individual uses).
Optional Feature (63X4166 FC 8700): The 8560 and 8580 200 MB
Internal Optical Disk feature provides the same function as the 3363
Model A11.
Transition Application: Two 3363 Optical Disk Drives can support
migration and/or coexistence. This becomes a viable method for
migration or coexistence when both system units have Optical Diskette
drives already present to support backup and restore on each system.
IBM 6157 Streaming Tape Drive
The 6157 Streaming Tape Drive is a 1/4 inch 55MB tape drive unit for
attachment to the IBM Personal Computer, Personal Computer XT,
Personal Computer AT, IBM 3270-Personal Computer, 3270 Personal

restore. A security system, library system, multiple file sessions
on the same tape and on-line Help system are features in SY-TOS.
Ships with both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch media. SY-TOS/IBM is
supported by DOS level 2.1 and higher.
Transition Application: SY-TOS/IBM 6157 Tape Utilities Version 1.1
supports large storage requirements for existing IBM Personal
Computer inventories. Where migrating or coexistence with large
amounts of data among IBM Personal Computer Users is required, the
6157 Streaming Tape Drive provides a fast and efficient solution.
Installation of adapters in multiple system units and sharing the
tape drive allows data interchange of large files at minimal expense,
while providing for back-up of data/programs.
