Quick overview:
Wer meint, dass das klassische Diskettenlaufwerk nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist, der täuscht gewaltig. Immer noch wird es gerne als einfacher Weg der Datenübertragung genutzt, wenn es um kleine Dokumente oder einfache Bilder und winzige Programme geht. Es würde sich hier kaum der Einsatz eines CD-Brenners lohnen.
Unfortunately, the floppy drive is still very slow, which is why it is advisable to increase the part of the working memory that reads data from the floppy drive in advance and stores it temporarily. Once you have done this, the speed of the so-called floppy drive increases dramatically.
1. First click on Start and then on Run. In the command line, enter regedit followed by pressing Enter.
2. Hangeln Sie sich nacheinander durch die Windows Registrierungs Pfade HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\fdc\0000 und klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste ins rechte Teilfenster.
3. Now select New > String. Now name your newly created value ForceFIFO and confirm this. Double-click on it and enter a 0 in the line that appears.
After a restart, you will notice an increase in the data rate and faster accesses on your floppy disk drive.
