Disks
A floppy disk consists of three parts: the plastic disk, the disk liner, and
the disk jacket as shown in Figure
2.1.
The disk itself is made out of
a thin, flexible, plastic material that is coated with a magnetic oxide similar
to that used in magnetic recording tape. It can be stretched or bent easily,
leaving distortions in its surface that will destroy its usefulness.
