Abstract
A method of recording bursts of digital data onto a rotating recording medium having a helical data track moving at a fixed linear rate with respect to a read/write unit includes the steps of temporarily storing the data bursts and reducing the data rate of the bursts during storage. The bursts are stored as clusters at spaced locations around the track while leaving pauses between the clusters. The pauses are used to relocate the read/write head to the position where the next burst will be recorded before recording the next burst.
