To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.
The term "Floppy disk" is also used in German as is "Diskette" or "Floppy"
I would say that Thumb/Flash USB drives were what replaced the Floppy Drive, they have an advantage over the Floppy for being able to transport more data in a safer way.
They can hold more data than floppy disks and computers aren't really made with floppy disk entrances :)
(giggle) FLOPPY disk? Heehee!
Correction: the "A" Drive is a floppy disk dirve that holds, reads and writes on the floppy disk.
