          Application 08/599,875                                                       

                    switching means for switching a data input/output                  
               path between said first head and said second head in                    
               response to a control signal; and                                       
                    control means for identifying a target position on                 
               said first surface of said disk recording medium,                       
               determining which one of said first and second heads is                 
               closer to said target position, generating said control                 
               signal to switch said data input/output path to said                    
               first head when said first head is closer to said target                
               position and generating said control signal to switch                   
               said data input/output path to said second head when said               
               second head is closer to said target position.
