/* MFM Encoding */
=== MFM Encoding ===
MFM, or (Modified Frequency Modulation, ) was developed as a more efficient alternative to FM encoding.
In MFM, clock pulses are not always present. Instead, a clock pulse only occurs between two consecutive 0s. If a 1 appears, it doesn’t need a clock pulse to mark it; instead, a transition is placed in the middle of the bit cell to represent the 1. Additionally, when a 0 follows a 1, no transition is needed, further minimizing the number of magnetic changes.
