Abstract
A data processing system includes an analog to digital converter operable to sample an analog signal obtained from a magnetic storage medium to yield digital samples, and a sync mark detector operable to search for a particular one of a number of sync marks in the digital samples. Each of the data tracks on the magnetic storage medium is associated with one of the sync marks. The sync mark on each of the data tracks has a different pattern than the sync marks on neighboring tracks.
