1. A data processing system, the system comprising:
a buffer circuit operable to store a first set of digital samples derived from a first read head as a buffered data set; a selector circuit operable to select one of the buffered data set or the first set of digital samples as a processing output; and a joint equalizer circuit operable to apply a joint equalization algorithm to a combination of the processing output and a second set of digital samples derived from a second read head to yield an equalized output.
