1. An impedance matched write circuit, comprising:
an interconnect for connecting to a write head;
at least one resistor between a control voltage and said interconnect for impedance matching to said inter connect;
a transistor circuit connected across said at least one resistor to shunt at least a portion of the current that would otherwise pass through said at least one resistor during an over shoot mode.
