DisketteDrive A
The floppy drive device reads and writes data to and from floppy disks. Floppy disks
are flexible recording media, sometimes contained in hard shells. Floppy disk
recording capacities are small and access times are slow relative to hard disk drives,
but they provide a convenient means of storing and transferring data.

Diskette Drive A - floppy drive Seek Test
This test verifies the drive's ability to position its read/write heads. The test
operates in two passes: first, seeking from the beginning to ending cylinders
inclusively, and second, seeking alternately from the beginning to ending cylinders
with convergence towards the middle.
