1. A data processing system, the data processing system comprising:
a first input processing circuit operable to provide a first data set from information received from a first read head, wherein the first data set includes a first instance of a first portion of the information and a first instance of a second portion of the information; a second input processing circuit operable to provide a second data set from information received from a second read head, wherein the second data set includes a second instance of the first portion of the information and a second instance of the second portion of the information; a combining circuit operable to combine an aligned output with the second instance of the first portion to yield a combined signal, wherein the aligned output is derived from the first instance of the first portion of the information; a first processing circuit operable to process the combined signal to yield a first status output; and a second processing circuit operable to process the first instance of the second portion of the information to yield a second status output.
