| Abstract: |
Data and directories are separated and stored on separate parts of an optical disk. Directories are on the inner tracks and data are on the outer tracks, in a first format. Data and directories are written from magnetic disk storage in a different second specific format that is determined by a particular operating system used by an information processor. A medical information processing system is provided with an external magnetic disk storage and the optical disk.

First Claim:
Show all 35 claims |
We claim:
1. A portable optical disk usable among different information processing systems operable on respective specific operating systems respectively different from each other, for transporting information among the different information processing systems,
- (1) wherein each of said different information processing systems comprise:
- (i) an information processor operable on a specific different operating system for processing data and directories;
- (ii) an external storage reactive with the information processor for storing and retrieving therein and therefrom the data and directories in a specific format based on its specific operating system;
- (iii) a format converter reactive with the information processor for converting the data and directories in the specific format to data and directories in said independent format, and vice versa; and
- (iv) an optical disk drive reactive with the information processor and the format converter for storing and retrieving data and directories in the independent format in and from the optical disk, and
- (2) wherein said portable optical disk is formatted in an independent format for storing and reading data and directories therein and therefrom in said independent format which is independent of the formats based on the respective operating systems of the different information processing systems,
- whereby said portable optical disk is compatibly operable with the different information processing systems to transport the data and directories from one to another information processing system through their optical disk drives and format converters irrespective of difference in the operating systems.
