  2. FlashPath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlashPath

    FlashPath is hardware compatible with all standard 3.5" High-Density Floppy disk drives, but is not a drop-in replacement for real floppy disks. A special software device driver must be installed on the computer that is to access data via FlashPath. Thus, FlashPath is only usable with computers and operating systems for which such a driver ...

    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 generations of 8-inch FDDs, 5.25-inch FDDs and 3.5-inch FDDs. [1]

    Possibly because of the 2400c's IBM design heritage, both the drive and the computer use the same connectors as IBM ThinkPad external floppy drives from the same period; however, IBM drives are not electrically compatible. [7] The drive was discontinued in 1998 and would be the last external floppy drive manufactured by Apple.

    A Maxell-branded 3-inch Compact Floppy Disk. The floppy disk is a data storage and transfer medium that was ubiquitous from the mid-1970s well into the 2000s. [1] Besides the 3½-inch and 5¼-inch formats used in IBM PC compatible systems, or the 8-inch format that preceded them, many proprietary floppy disk formats were developed, either using a different disk design or special layout and ...

    I'd also be interested to hear anything of the 5.25" inch format that the ST could also use (the original machine not having a built-in drive, but using external drives of either 3.5 or 5.25 size plugging in through a floppy interface presumably conforming to some existing standard), which quickly died a horrible death once 3.5" was ...
