Floppy drive

There are different types. Older systems use the 5 1/4 inch floppies. Today's computers only have the 3 1/2 inch floppy. It will hold 1.4 megs of data. There is a newer version of the floppy that holds 120 megs but it is not widely used.

Newer systems are being sold without a floppy drive. This is because of the ability to burn data to CD-ROM drives.
