  Station Information - Group Code Recording
Group Code Recording (GCR) is a floppy disk data encoding format invented by Commodore Business Machines and used in the 5¼" disk drives for their 8-bit home/-personal computers (the best-known drive probably being the single-sided Commodore 1541, used with the C64 computer).
While other formats such as MFM used a doubling of each 2-bit group to avoid this, GCR was tailored to give a much higher data density on the disc and avoid unnecessary redundancy, under the assumption that a few zeroes in a row was OK, but not too many.
A disk data encoding format similar to GCR was adopted by the original Apple Macintosh 3½" floppy disk drive, though no attempt was made to be compatible with Commodore's system – in fact since the physical form of the disk itself was new, Apple was free to implement it any way they chose.

Thereafter, arrangements for recording shall be between the leader and the building owner and/or occupier ("owner") as required.
Recording parties would not normally consist of more than 6 people and every attempt will be made to complete recording as quickly as possible.
In the event of problems during or after recording, which are not soluble by the leader, the NHBG Chairman (Dr Adam Longcroft) should be contacted.

Group Code Recording (GCR) is a floppy disk data encoding format used by the Apple II and Commodore Business Machines in the 5¼" disk drives for their 8-bit computers (the best-known drives being the Disk II for the Apple II family and the Commodore 1541, used with the Commodore 64 computer).
The purpose of GCR is to avoid too many consecutive zeroes (i.e.
GCR is more efficient than FM coding, but less efficient than MFM.

 Modified Frequency Modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modified Frequency Modulation, commonly MFM, is a line code used by most floppy disk formats, notably by most CP/M machines, as well as PCs running DOS.
MFM was also used in early hard disk designs, before the advent of more efficient types of Run Length Limited (RLL) coding.
Now, at the turn of the millennium, however, except for the steadily disappearing 1.44 MB floppy disk drives, MFM encoding is largely obsolete.

Groups of bits are mapped to specific patterns of flux.
The density of flux transitions is limited by the spatial resolution of the disk and frequency response of the head and electronics.
Other schemes include Group Code Recording, FM and MFM (Modified Frequency Modulation).

Magnetic tape was first used to record data in 1951 on the Mauchly-Eckert UNIVAC I.
Recording density was 128 characters per inch at a linear speed of 100 ips, yielding a data rate of 12800 characters per second.

In machine-readable records, any realistic discussion of the archival proper- ties cannot be separated from questions on the longevity of their associated hard- ware or machines.
The long-term stability of the recording medium is necessary, but it is not a sufficient criterion for its use.
DEFINITIONS In machine-readable records i.e., magnetic computer, audio, and video tape, magnetic and optical disks, and phonograph records it is understood that the recorded information can be usefully recovered only by converting it to a human-readable form such as paper text, a photograph, or a video terminal display.

 GROUP CODE RECORDING
(GCR) A recording method used for 6250 BPI magnetic tapes.
GCR typically uses a group of five bits of code to represent four bits of data, where the encoding ensures no more than two or three zeros occur in a row, and no more than eight or so ones occur in a row, where zeros represent an absense of magnetic change.

 Articles - Run Length Limited   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In consumer electronics, there is the Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation or EFM code (rate = 8/17, d=2, k=10), which is employed in the Compact Disc (CD), and the EFMPlus code (rate = 8/16, d=2, k=10) used in the DVD.
Run length limited sequences are characterized by two parameters, (d+1) and (k+1), which stipulate the minimum (with the exception of the very first and last runlength) and maximum runlength, respectively, that may occur in the sequence.
The grounds on which d and k values are selected, in turn, depend on various factors such as the channel response, the desired data rate (or information density), and the jitter and noise characteristics.

 National P/N DP8459 - All-Code Data Synchronizer [Discontinued]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The DP8459 Data Synchronizer is an integrated phase locked loop circuit which has been designed for application in magnetic hard disk, flexible (floppy) disk, optical disk, and tape drive memory systems for data re-synchronization and clock recovery with any standard recording code, operating to 25 Mb/s.
An optional (Customer-controlled) synchronization field frequency-acquisition feature guarantees lock, accommodating the preamble types used with GCR (Group Code Recording), MFM (Modified Frequency Modulation), the [1,N] run length limited (RLL) codes, and either of the standard 2,7 RLL codes.
Precise synchronization window generation is achieved via an internal, self-aligning delay line which remains accurate independent of temperature, power supply, external component and IC process variations.
