5.25 disk drives
The situation is more complex, 5.25 inch floppy disks. The difference between the top 80 pieces of high density (1.2 MB MFM format), the device is smaller than the DD track in 1940 (360 kb) units, but the format, read and write CDs 40 songs apparently successful as long as the controller supports two-pass (or the manufacturer installed a replacement dual-powered). Target of 40 hard disk is formatted and songs written for the controller 80, the unit can take 40 is not a problem, the drive device formatted 40 monitors can be on the path of education eightieth But the document on the hard disk with 40 tracks and updates the ride to be worked out a permanent 80-bed unit will be of 360 kb, such as the incompatibility of work (one can be special, very slowly, programs solve this problem.) A number of scenarios, yes.
Before the problem on its head, and then there was a time when trying to understand just what part of the "party" is a hard law is not a problem. Both Radio Shack and Apple used 180 KB 5 cm CD-sided, and two albums with the word "face" that is approved for use on the other side, but not always sold on both sides with magnetic material. The irony is that the plates and Radio Shack and Apple machines, but the teams Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I used to act and Apple II computers are used on the other hand, regardless of whether the software that includes an can give meaning to the new format.
Tractor head record is used by 5.25 " floppy disk from one face to face convert. Somewhere in 1980, the user can buy a special tool for hard rockers, cutting second-class writing to these discs, then use it, "Flippo" (with incorporated, or vice versa): both sides can be written and thus doubles the storage capacity added. Other users are not satisfied with a firm hand and punch or scissors. Get back to protect the other side, the disk is simply a piece of tape over the notch or hole in question. This "Flippy disk method", which the owners of almost any computer hard drive to the other side of the house. If the record companies are very important for the users. Flippo were subsequently adopted by some manufacturers, some of the programs that are sold this way (which is also for software distribution systems that can be used for both start and runway 40 and runway 80 units, but not the software, see the balance 40 to control unit 80 uses). In practice, eventually disappeared from the increasing use of duplex access to both sides of the plate without lifting .
