ISO/IEC FDIS 29171

Description / Abstract: This International Standard specifies the dimensional, mechanical and physical characteristics of an information Versatile Disk for Removable usage (iVDR) cartridge to enable mechanical interchangeability between data processing systems. Hard disk drive technologies can be used in the cartridge.

This International Standard specifies the environment in which iVDR cartridges are to be operated and stored, and specifies the dimensions and pin assignments of a connector employed by iVDR cartridges to enable data interchange.

Together with ISO/IEC 24739-3 and a standard for volume and file structure, this International Standard enables full data interchange between data processing systems.
