A floppy disk typically uses IRQ6 (that is on windows server 2003)
By default, the IRQ for the floppy disk controller is IRQ 6.
3F0 - 3F7Primary floppy disk drive controller. Primary IDE controller (slave drive) (3F6-3F7h)
Floppy Disk Controller
fdd is a floppy disk controller. this is you will hoke it up
No. Zip drives cannot read floppy disks, and cannot be used on a traditional floppy controller.
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.
A standard floppy disk drive cable typically contains 34 conductors. This includes 17 twisted pairs of wires, which are used for data transmission, as well as additional wires for power and control signals. The cable connects the floppy disk drive to the motherboard or controller, facilitating communication between the two devices.
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.
A floppy typically stores 5.66 Mbytes. well i say that a typical floppy disk holds 1.44 mbytes.
A floppy controller is a hardware component that manages the reading and writing of data to and from floppy disk drives. It interfaces between the computer's motherboard and the floppy drive, facilitating data transfer and ensuring proper communication. Floppy controllers are typically integrated into the motherboard or provided as a separate expansion card, and they handle tasks such as disk formatting, data retrieval, and error correction. With the decline of floppy disks, floppy controllers have become largely obsolete in modern computing.
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.
