PART 5
DISKS AND DISK DRIVES
5.1
Concepts
Two
essential
elements
of
any
computer
are
its
temporary
and
permanent
storage
devices.
The
computer's random access memory (RA M), commonly
called memory, temporarily stores information during
processing.
Data in memory may disappear when you
load a new program, and is lost when you turn the
computer off.
Disks provide more permanent memory.
The T 3200 is equipped with two types of disk.
The
integrated hard disk drive which cannot be removed
from the computer holds 40 megabytes of information.
The T3200 also includes a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive.
You can remove floppy disk from their drive and store
them or transport them to other computers.
5.2
Disk Drive Options
You can add an external 5.25-inch floppy disk drive to
the T 3200.
The
T3200
also
supports
a
3
megabyte
memory
expansion option.
Part of this memory can be set
aside to function as a very fast disk drive.
This is called a RA M, or virtual disk (VDISK).
