  • Abstract
    Design considerations were researched in an effort to develop a digital magnetic recording medium and a miniature direct access drive. The resulting medium, known as a diskette, measures 200.2 millimeters square (8 inches) and weighs about 40 grams (1.4 ounces). It is easy to handle, store, and mail, and any record can be deleted or substituted. Also, it is low in cost and reusable.
