Disk Drive

Allows reading and writing floppies. ComputerCraft floppies are also supported.

The main use of floppies - except being cheaper than hard drives - is to get data onto robots, since they cannot connect to external components, and only have a component slot for floppies, but not for hard drives. If you have the materials, you can build a tier three case, which has a built-in disk drive. Until then, this block is your new best friend.

The Disk Drive is crafted using the following recipe:

• 4 x Iron ingot
• 1 x Piston
• 1 x Stick
• 1 x Microchip (Tier 1)
• 1 x Printed Circuit Board
