An integrated circuit chip can include an interference mitigator. An adaptor interfaces an ATA disk with two interfaces to a backplane having a fiber channel backplane interface form factor. Additionally, spare states in multiple bit per cell memory devices that remain unmapped to binary data bits may be advantageously used. The CPU determines if the compressed image data can be printed at a high printing speed by comparing a predetermined data volume with the compressed data volume of the raster having the largest data volume among rasters constituting the image data. In some embodiments, the opening is configured to laterally receive a guidewire therethrough.
