PCT No. PCT/EP92/02272 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 1, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/07555 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 15, 1993.A data storage system includes a data read/write device which can be incorporated in electronic data processing (EDP) devices with the external shape of an 88.9 mm (31/2 inch) diskette drive, which contains a read/write head and a controller, which transacts the protocol to write and read and is connected with a processor of the EDP device, and further includes a data carrier constructed as a smart-diskette in the shape and the dimensions of a 88.9 mm (31/2 inch) diskette which can be inserted into the data read/write device. The data carrier has electronic components, including controller, microprocessor and memory as well as a stationary magnetic transducer which is firmly connected with the data carrier. Data transfers are carried out through and between the read/write head and the stationary magnetic transducer. The data read/write device has no moving parts at all, i.e., there is no drive motor for a magnetic diskette present, and the read/write head is fastened stationarily in the data read/write device, so that data exchanges between the data read/write device and the data carrier constructed as a smart-diskette are carried out only through the read/write head and the stationary magnetic transducer with the data carrier microprocessor and memory.
