MIRAGE DOUBLE-SIDED DRIVE CONVERSION (4678 words) |
 | The floppy diskette has inside its plastic case a thin round piece of plastic film, which is coated on both sides with an iron oxide mixture similar to that found on audio or video tape. |
| As the diskette spins (driven by a motor in the disk drive) the head, which is mounted on a movable arm, puts down the digital data onto the diskette in concentric circles. |
| When the diskette is originally "formatted" magnetic markers are laid down by the head so it knows where to go on the diskette to put down the data. |
