The floppy disk emulator can provide other systems access to the data on the emulated floppy in a number of ways: Direct access to some dedicated disk partition (e.g.: a 1.44MB partition on a USB key) Floppy file system translation (e.g.: FAT12 floppy ↔ USB key folder) Floppy disk images (e.g.: raw floppy ↔ .img/.iso USB key file)
Intel had announced the 8080 chip, and compared to the 4004 to which IMS Associates had been first introduced, it looked like a "real computer". Full-scale development of the IMSAI 8080 was put into action using the existing Altair 8800's S-100 bus , and by October 1975 an ad was placed in Popular Electronics , receiving positive reactions.
8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale) 3½-inch, high-density floppy diskettes with adhesive labels affixed The first commercial floppy disks, developed in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter; [4] [5] they became commercially available in 1971 as a component of IBM products and both drives and disks were then sold ...
The H8 is similar to the S-100 bus computers of the era, and like those machines is often used with the CP/M operating system on floppy disk. The main difference between the H8 and S-100 machines is the bus ; the H8 uses a 50-pin bus design that was smaller, more robust and better engineered electrically.
Amiga 1000 with external A1010 floppy disk drive and A1060 Sidecar. The Commodore A1060 Sidecar is an expansion hardware device developed by Commodore and released in 1986 for the Amiga 1000 computer. It is an IBM Personal Computer XT-clone in an expansion case which connects to the expansion bus on the right side of the Amiga 1000 computer.
And if you built a plane 20 or 30 or even 40 years ago, you would use a floppy disk to get information in and out of some of the avionics of that airplane."Persky sells about 500 disks a daybut ...
The disk drives of the stock Dimension 68000 consist of two half-height, [5] 5.25-inch, 40-track floppy drives. Two more half-height 5.25-inch floppy drives can be outfitted in the blank full-drive-height space to the right, or one full-height hard drive can be installed in the same space.
MSX-DOS and the extended BASIC with 3½-inch floppy disk support were simultaneously developed by Microsoft and ASCII Corporation as a software and hardware standard for the MSX home computer standard, to add disk capabilities to BASIC and to give the system a cheaper software medium than Memory Cartridges, and a more powerful storage system than cassette tape.
