On a floppy how many bits are used for each entry in the FAT?
12 bits
On a floppy disk drive how many bits are used for each entry in the FAT?
12 Bits
Data is written to and read from a floppy disk via a magnetic mechanism in the floppy drive?
Data written on or retrieved from a floppy:The floppy cover has a window with a spring-loaded metal shutter. The shutter is pushed back which uncovers the window when it is inserted into the disk drive. The drive rotates the disk inside its protective covering at a speed of 300 rpm. Read/write head contacts its exposed surface through the window.Recording is done magnetically in concentric circles called tracks. Data is read or written serially in bits on the tracks within a given sector.Microcomputer disks use sector organization to store and retrieve data. In sector organization, the recording surface is divided into pie-shaped sectors. The number of sectors depends on the density of the disk. Each sector is assigned a unique number. The sector number and track number are all that are needed for address on a particular disk-face surface. The disk address represents the physical location of a particular file or set of data. An access arm containing the read/write head is moved under program control to the appropriate track. Data are read or written when a sector containing the desired data passes under the read/write head.By Khushal Khan Nasar......
What are the similarities of a usb flash drive and a floppy disk?
There are practically no dissimilarities between flash memory and floppy disk. Both media store the data in bits, however the method in which this is done is completely different. Floppy disks store data on a moving plater using magnetism, the data must be physically accessed by the read head. Flash memory stores the data as charge and can be accessed by directly addressing the memory. Flash memory has no moving parts, it is durable and data corruption due to external factors is practically non existent.
Do CD-ROM represent bits with tiny magnetized areas?
No, CD (Compact Disk) technologies store data bits as reflective (or non reflective) pits in an optically (not magnetically) read substrate. Hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tapes store bits as tiny magnetized areas.
How many bits are used for each entry in the fat for a floppy disk?
The width of each entry in the FAT is 12 bits.
How data is retrieved from a floppy?
The floppy cover has a window with a spring loaded metal shutter. the shutter is pushed back which uncovers the window when it is inserted inti the disk drive. The drive rotates the disk inside its protective covering at a speed of 300 rmp. Read/write head contacts its exposed surface through the window.Recording is done magnetically in concentric circles called tracks. Data is read or written serially in bits on the tracks with in a given sector.Microcomputer disks use sector organization to store and retrieve data. In sector organization , the recording surface is divided into pie-shaped sectors. The number of sectors depends on the density of the disk. Each sector is assigned a unique number. The sector number and track number are all that are needed for address on a particular disk face surface. the disk address represents the physical location of a particular file or set of data.

Data are read or written when a sector containing the desired data passes under the read/write head.
Electronic marks put on disk as tracks and sectors are known as?
Bits. Groups of bits are organized into sectors or blocks, which are further grouped into clusters, which are further grouped into tracks.
On a floppy disk how many bits are used for each entry in the FAT?
12 bits. Thus the reason the file allocation table is called FAT12.
How many bits are in a SIMMs data path?
32 bits.
How fast is 200 kbps?
200,000 bits of information a second. A data byte has 8 data bits, a start bit and one or two stop bits.
What is Data paths?
The width of the data path in bits
