What is the IRQ for the floppy disk drive controller?
By default, the IRQ for the floppy disk controller is IRQ 6.
What is the default IO address for the primary IDE controller?
3F0 - 3F7Primary floppy disk drive controller. Primary IDE controller (slave drive) (3F6-3F7h)
What does FDC stand for in computer terms?
Floppy Disk Controller
What is a FDD connector?
fdd is a floppy disk controller. this is you will hoke it up
Can i use a floppy disk in a zip drive?
No. Zip drives cannot read floppy disks, and cannot be used on a traditional floppy controller.
What is the advantage of using a disk controller to control the hard disk?
The use of a separate disk controller frees the CPU to perform other tasks. In particular, the disk controller can manage DMA transfers, which otherwise would have to be done by the CPU. The disk controller also manages the movement of the disk head and reading or writing of the data on the disk. Again, without the disk controller, the CPU would be forced to perform these operations.
Memory requirements for hard drive and floppy disk?
A floppy typically stores 5.66 Mbytes. well i say that a typical floppy disk holds 1.44 mbytes.
What you inside a floppy disk into a so that data stored in the floppy disk can be read?
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.
What is floppy disk slot?
a floppy disk slot is what you put the floppy disk in on a CPU
What is hard sector and soft sector in floppy disk?
A hard-sectored floppy disk (5.25") has timing holes (typically ten) drilled through the disk at evenly-spaced intervals around the disk at the same radius as the index hole (which is one hole drilled between two of the timing holes). The timing holes indicate to the disk reader / writer / controller where the sectored are located on the floppy disk. A soft-sectored floppy disk has a single index hole and no timing doles drilled in it. The spacing of the sectors is determined by set time intervals from the passage of the index hole as it rotates. For example if there are ten sectors each would be spaced at 1/10 of the time it takes the disk to rotate. The controller for a soft-sectored disk drive must be able to control speed and measure time more carefully than a hard-sectored disk drive. A soft-sectored disk can't be read or written by a hard-sectored disk drive (and vice versa) unless the disk controller has been written to deal with the different number of holes.
does a floppy disk hold information?
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
Does a floppy disk rotate faster than a hard disk?
no the floppy disk rotate slower its because hard disk rotate faster then floppy disk
