Abstract

In an FDD control apparatus for controlling a floppy disk drive for driving a floppy disk loaded in the floppy disk drive, a counter ( ) produces a target track position signal indicative of a target track position for magnetic heads in response to an external seek direction signal and an external step signal. A counter ( ) is activated when the floppy disk is loaded in the floppy disk drive to generate an internal step signal. When the floppy disk is loaded in the floppy disk drive, a counter ( ) is put into an active state to produce a current track position signal indicative of an actual current track position for the magnetic heads in response to a selected seek direction signal and a selected step signal. A comparing circuit ( ) compares the target track position signal with the current track position signal to produce a coincidence signal and an internal seek signal.
