Floppy Disk FDD Transfer Recovery – About Floppy Disks

Floppies or Floppy Disks (FD or FDD) were created by IBM. The early floppy disks were 8-inch (200 mm), followed by 5-inch (1331/3 mm), and then 3-inch (90 mm). There was also the less popular 3 inch CF-2 Compact floppy disc used by Amstrad (Amsoft)and Sinclair. They are made from a flexible magnetic coated disk inside a square or rectangular plastic case. The discs were commonly used in PC’s (180K up to 1440K), Amiga DD and HD (also 5,25″ formats), Atari 9, 10 and 11 sektor disks, Kaypro (10 Sector per track) Macintosh 720K, 800K, 1440K (DD, GCR, HD), Apple IIe disks (Apple DOS 3.3 and up), Apple II, Macintosh, Amstrad CPC & Amstrad PCW to transfer data, and create archive backups. We can read the following disks and provide a disk image of the raw data or in most cases extract the actual files as well.
