3. Introducing the device
The USB Floppy Disk Emulator of ipcas GmbH replaces legacy disk drives.
The floppy is replaced by a USB Stick. Up to 100 virtual floppy disks can
be stored on one USB Stick.
Retrofitting of your machines/systems is no longer required. Just replace
the disk drive 1:1.

In the industrial sector many machines are still equipped with flopy disk
drives. The floppy disk is often the only means of importing updates or
reading out data. This could become a source of future problems.
Floppies are sensitive and short-lived. The maintenance of disk drives is
expensive, and quite often they can be no longer replaced.
The ipcas Floppy Disk Emulator depends on USB Sticks as data carriers,
which are far more compact, practical and long-lived than the old-
fashioned floppy disk. So the ipcas "Floppy" makes your machine/system
fit for the future.
The ipcas Floppy Disk Emulator can also replace other forms of disk drives
and disk storage systems. Refer to the comparison with a 5¼ inch floppy
disk drive with 1.2 MB floppies.
