Abstract
Information read from a disk device includes synchronization bytes to enable a controller to get into byte synchronization with a stream of bits received from the disk. The stream of bits passes through a shift register. Firmware conditions a multiplexer which receives the parallel output of the serial register to select the high order binary ONE bit thereby enabling the controller to get into byte synchronization with the stream of bits.
