Why was it called C and not A or 1 or something

Is a floppy drive different form the floppy disk? Cause i remember floppy disks, vaguely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The drive runs the disk in my mind but I don't know the classroom right answer. My thought process on the matter is you insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive then your computer mounts it. Your hard drive runs your hard disk. Drives run disks. shrug

Yer that's what i had thought, same kinda thing as a cd drive, not that it's means much to anyone who isn't 100

Cuz mass storage was a quirky extra, not something essential to your system, like your A: floppy drive was.
