Verbatim Floppy Disk
Verbatim Floppy Disk
CERN-OBJ-IT-036 · Item · 1976
Part of Heritage Collection

Introduced under the name "Verbatim", Latin for "literally", these disks that sized more than 5¼ inches have become almost universal on dedicated word processing systems and personal computers. This format was replaced more slowly by the 3½-inch format, introduced for the first time in 1982. Compared to today, these large format disks stored very little data. In reality, they could only contain a few pages of text.
