DAT DRIVE/CONTROLLER INTERFACE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A DAT drive data transfer interface that includes serial data transfer circuitry for transferring main area data to be written to tape to a write formatter circuit of the DAT drive and for receiving main area data read from tape from a read formatter circuit of the drive. A parallel data transfer circuit provides for the transfer of subarea information to be written to tape and subarea information read from tape, as well providing for the transfer of certain main area information and formatter circuit control information. Drive control information for controlling the DAT drive and drive status information are communicated via drive control lines. The serial data provided by the serial data transfer circuitry emulates the output of an audio analog-to- digital converter that could be utilized in a DAT audio application, and the serial data received by the serial data transfer circuitry emulates the input to an audio digital-to-analog converter as could be utilized in a DAT audio application.
