Stitch, you said >perhaps I should mention that MR heads are not velocity dependent on performance...in fact..can actually read and write in a steady state.<

Both of us know what you mean. For the sake of lurkers: MR heads
sense a magnetic transition independent of disk speed. But to
"see" different transitions (as bits), the disk must move them
past the head - however slowly. Signal amplitude (voltage) is
not dependent on disk speed.
