A magnetic detector for detecting a magnetism present in the vicinity of or close to a magnetic wire circumferentially magnetized therein and an electromagnet for generating an A.C. magnetic field on the basis of the magnitude of a Matteucci-effect voltage developed across the magnetic wire when the electromagnet approaches the magnetic wire. A coordinate input device for detecting proximity between the electromagnet and an array of a plurality of such magnetic wires arranged in X and Y directions when the electromagnet approaches the array. A magnetic image sensor for detecting an intensity distribution of a static magnetic field to be detected and present along a longitudinal direction of the wire on the basis of a detection voltage of the wire when a plurality of such electromagnets arranged along the longitudinal direction of the wire are sequentially excited one after another.

A control apparatus for a rotation type magnetic storage device such as a magnetic disc device in which each of record tracks is composed of plural sectors, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory for storing control information of address and the like of the sector to be accessed on a rotating recording medium and comparator means for comparing successively the control information read out from the sector of the rotating recording medium with the control information read out from the memory. In accordance with the output signal from the comparator, the sector of the rotating medium to be accessed is detected. The rotation type magnetic storage device having different sector formats can be controlled by altering correspondingly the control information stored in said memory.
