The 3.5" floppy disk is defunkt now, it is rarely if ever used, so to be able to procure one would be hard and then finding a new computer on which to use it would be difficult. If a floppy disk drive is available the volume of information that can be stored on it is minimal. A floppy disk can store around 1.44Mb wheras a conventional CD can store from 600 - 800Mb.

The paper transport system of a dot matrix printer is primarily what?

Earlier dot-matrix printers used a transport mechanism called tractor feed to move perforated sheets of a folded stack of pages through the printer. Removable strips lined both sides of the paper; the strips were punched with spaced holes. Wheels or belts with teeth that mated with the spaced holes moved the paper through the printer. While these printers were rarely found in homes after inkjet printers became popular, they can still can be found in commercial or government sites.
