Everything I know about floppy disks
Summary: JP's Website discusses floppy disks, their history, and technical details. There are four main sizes of floppy disks: 8", 5.25", 3", and 3.5". Floppy disk drives read and write data using read/write heads and magnetic materials. Drives can be single-sided or double-sided, and tracks store data on the disks. FM and MFM encoding are used to convert data into flux transitions. Floppy disks can be hard or soft sectored, and their rotation speed affects data storage. The Shugart and IBM PC pinouts are common interfaces for connecting floppy disk drives to controllers.
