Disk Drives

The eaZy pc is available in three models:

  • single floppy disk drive
  • dual floppy disk drives
  • single floppy disk and a hard disk drive.

The floppy disk drive uses 3-1/2-inch double-sided, double-density disks which can store up to 720K of information. ("K" is short for "kilobytes," which are used to measure memory capacity.) Each 3-1/2-inch disk holds about 350 pages of typewritten text.

A hard disk drive can store up to 20 megabytes of information. (A megabyte is the same as 1,024 kilobytes.) This built-in disk holds about 20,000 pages of typewritten text.

The drives are referred to as Drive A and Drive B (if you have two floppy drives).
