Diskettes
The IBM 5-1/4" Diskette Drive uses a standard 133.4 mm (5.25 in.)
diskette.
For
programming considerations, single sided, double density
soft sectored diskettes are used. The figure below
is
a simplified
drawing
of
the diskette used with the Diskette Drive. This recording
medium
is
a flexible magnetic disk enclosed in a protective jacket. The
protected disk, free to rotate within the jacket,
is
continuously cleaned
by the soft fabric lining
of
the jacket during normal operation.
Read/Write erase head access
is
made through an opening in the jacket.
Openings for the drive hub and diskette index hole are also provided.
