STORAGE
OF
PROGRAMS AND INFORMATION
Information is stored in the form
of
files. The number
of
files
that can
be
stored
on a
disk
depends on how much
information
is in each file.
The
hard
disk
contains
the CPIM program, which operates the computer, and
the
software
programs. The hard
disk
is permanently fixed
within
the machine. The
head
disk
interface is vulnerable
to
rough handling when moving the computer.
On
the KAYPRO
10,
diskette
storage is used
to
back up files which are on the
hard disk. The
KAYPRO
10
uses 5
1f4-
inch single-sided
or
double-sided, double-
density
soft-sector diskettes. Single-sided
diskettes
can store 195K bytes, and
double-sided diskettes can store 390K bytes. 4K bytes
of
space are reserved
for
the operating system and other essentials.
