The original floppy was an 8 inch, single sided disk first developed in the late 1960's as a result of research efforts by IBM. The first floppy disk drive systems became commercially available in 1971. They cost more than a new PC costs today.
The floppy disk was introduced in the 1970's, and it revolutionized data storage in the PC. It ran strongly for some time, but faded in the 1990's. It is rare to see a working machine being used in this day and age with a floppy drive in it.

An example of an obsolete computer part is the Floppy Drive/ Floppy Disk.
I don't. I use either a floppy or a disk.
The tracks on a floppy disk are arranged in concentric circles from the center outwards. The read-write heads can therefore jump from track 1 to say 10 without moving through the tracks in between.
A "diskette" or "floppy disk" is neither as they are removable magnetic storage media. However, if you refer to the drives that read from them or write to them, then those drives are considered hardware.
The "A:" drive is the first floppy disk drive.
a floppy disk slot is what you put the floppy disk in on a CPU
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
no the floppy disk rotate slower its because hard disk rotate faster then floppy disk
It's higher than Floppy Disk Associate, but not quite Floppy Disk Board of Directors.
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"
(giggle) FLOPPY disk? Heehee!
Correction: the "A" Drive is a floppy disk dirve that holds, reads and writes on the floppy disk.
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
Floppy disks.
Formatting prepares a floppy disk to store data
A floppy disk is about 5 MB big, so 5120 KB will fit on a floppy disk.
