The interval of the sector pulse (length of the physical sector) is decided by multiple of 20MHz free running frequency. This clock is not equal to the interval of the byte clock for each zone. Therefore, the physical sector length cannot be described with a byte length.

(2)Track skew and cylinder skew

To avoid waiting for one turn involved in head and cylinder switching, the first logical data block in each track is shifted by the number of sectors (track skew and cylinder skew) corresponding to the switching time. Figure 3.5 shows how the data block is allocated in each track.

At the head switching location in a cylinder, the first logical data block in track t + 1 is allocated at the sector position which locates the track skew behind the sector position of the last logical data block sector in track t.

At the cylinder switching location, like the head switching location, the first logical data block in a cylinder is allocated at the sector position which locates the cylinder skew behind the last logical sector position in the preceding cylinder. The last logical sector in the cylinder is allocated when formatting, and is an unused spare sector.
