 The '''[[wikipedia:Floppy_disk| Floppy Disk]]''' or disk(ette), is a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a disk(ette) drive.
-Diskettes (initially as 8-inch (203 mm) media[1] and later in 5 1⁄4-inch (133 mm) and 3 1⁄2 inch (90 mm) sizes) were a ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange from the mid-1970s into the first years of the 21st century. By 2006 computers were rarely manufactured with installed floppy disk drives; 3 1⁄2-inch floppy disks can be used with an external USB floppy disk drive, but USB drives for 5 1⁄4-inch, 8-inch, and non-standard diskettes are rare to non-existent. These formats are usually handled by older equipment..

 Floppy disk drives are seen on several Tektronix instruments like the [[3026]], [[3066]], [[3086]], [[2402A]] Tekmate, [[3001GPX]], [[370]] Curve Tracer, [[4100-Series Terminals]], [[DSA600]], [[DAS9200]], [[TDS3012]], [[TDS3014]], [[TDS3034]], [[TDS3052]], [[TDS5032]], [[TDS5034]], [[TDS5052]], [[TDS5054]], [[TDS5104]], [[TDS544A]], [[TDS644]], [[TDS684]], and [[TDS784]]
