A floppy-disk controller (FDC) is a hardware component that directs and controls reading from and writing to a computer's floppy disk drive (FDD). It...

The floppy disk is a data storage and transfer medium that was ubiquitous from the mid-1970s well into the 2000s. Besides the 3½-inch and 5¼-inch formats...

A floppy disk is a disk storage medium composed of a thin and flexible magnetic storage medium encased in a rectangular plastic carrier. It is read and...

Floppy disk format and density refer to the physical and logical layout of data stored on a floppy disk. Since their introduction, there have been many...

Each generation of floppy disk drive (FDD) began with a variety of incompatible interfaces but soon evolved into one de facto standard interface for the...

This is a list of different floppy disk formats. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, many different logical disk formats were used, depending on the hardware...

supplementary back-ups, and transferring of computer files. Compared with floppy disks or CDs, they are smaller, faster, have significantly more capacity, and...

Bootable floppy disks ("boot floppies") for PCs usually contain DOS or miniature versions of Linux. The most commonly available floppy disk can hold only...

Disk formatting is the process of preparing a data storage device such as a hard disk drive, solid-state drive, floppy disk, memory card or USB flash...

virtual machines do not emulate a floppy controller and do not support floppy disk images. VHDX (Virtual Hard Disk v2) is the successor format to VHD...

protected floppy disks. Disk image creation is called disk imaging and is often time consuming, even with a fast computer, because the entire disk must be...

The Disk II Floppy Disk Subsystem, often rendered as Disk ][, is a 5 +1⁄4-inch floppy disk drive designed by Steve Wozniak at the recommendation of Mike...

A disk controller is a controller circuit that enables a CPU to communicate with a hard disk, floppy disk or other kind of disk drive. It also provides...

the IBM floppy disk patent. Since the paper was 'floppy' material, he claims he had invented the floppy disk (sometimes he uses the phrase "floppy media");...

The SuperDisk LS-120 is a high-speed, high-capacity alternative to the 90 mm (3.5 in), 1.44 MB floppy disk. The SuperDisk hardware was created by 3M's...

integrated storage device, either a compact cassette deck or 3-inch floppy disk drive. The main units were only sold bundled with either a colour, green-screen...

double-sided disk is a disk of which both sides are used to store data. Early floppy disks only used one surface for recording. The term single-sided disk was...

It consists of a 2-inch magnetic floppy disk used to store still frames of composite analog video. A video floppy could store up to 25 frames either...

A floppy disk hardware emulator or semi-virtual diskette (SVD) is a device that emulates a floppy disk drive with a solid state or network storage device...
