Drives which are 5.25 inch, 3.5 inch, or 3 inch use +5 volts and (for the 5.25 inch drives) +12 volts. 8-inch drives use +5V, +24V, and in many cases 110VAC 60Hz for the spindle motors.

How many 775 KB files will fit on a floppy disk?

Does a system disk have to be a floppy disk?
No. A "system disk" is simply any disk which the computer can boot from and has an operating system installed on it. In most modern computer systems, the hard disk is normally the system disk. However most systems can also boot from a floppy disk, a cdrom, or even a USB thumb drive, providing of course that the media in question has the necessary system files on it. Many older systems did not have the ability to boot from the cdrom drive or USB drives. On these systems the only options were booting from the hard disk or floppy disk, so if the OS hadnt been installed to the hard disk yet (or it was broken) the only other option was the floppy disk.
How many floppy drives can connect one floppy drive cable inside a computer case?
Normally a floppy drive interface can be used to connect two floppy disk drives. However this may vary from system to system, some systems may also have two interfaces. It may be necessary to purchase a floppy drive cable with two connection headers.

Differences between a floppy disk and a hard disk?
A floppy disk is a flexible and magnetic data storage system that is removable from the computer that can store up to 3 megabytes of data. A hard disk on the other hand is the main place that a computer stores data. It is a rotating disk that uses magnetic patterns to store data. Floppy disks have been replaced by USB flash drives.These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.
Can a floppy disk be affected by a magnet?
Yes, a floppy disk will be affected by a magnet. Many floppy disks have magnetic components so coming into contact with permanent magnets can damage them.
