Minimizing costs for new industrial equipment during a financial crisis
In the conditions of a financial crisis, many companies face the problem of how to maintain and develop their production activity, without making large investments in new industrial equipment. New machines often require significant funds for purchasing, installation, staff training and maintenance. In addition, new equipment may have unclear reliability and cause more problems than benefits.
Why old industrial equipment is more reliable than new one
Nowadays, many companies strive to update their industrial equipment with the latest technologies and models, which promise higher performance, lower energy consumption and fewer repairs. But is this always the best solution? In this article we will show you why in many cases old industrial equipment can be more reliable, durable and economical than new one.
History and development of floppy disks
A floppy disk is a type of magnetic storage medium that is used to store and transfer data in computer systems. Floppy disks are popular in the 70s and 80s of the last century, when they are one of the main methods for archiving and distributing software.The first floppy disks are created in 1971 by IBM and have a size of 8 inches (20.3 cm) and a capacity of 80 KB. They are designed for use in large computer systems and are quite expensive and inconvenient. In 1976 IBM develops a smaller format of floppy disk – 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) and a capacity of 110 KB. This format becomes the standard for personal computers and evolves over the years to reach a capacity of 1.2 MB in 1984.

Floppy Drive Jumper Settings
N-Drive has to be configured depending on the settings of your old floppy drive. There are floppy drives which do not have configured options and in this case it is fully enough to know only the brand and the model of the floppy.
Some floppy drives have configured options. By using these options you can set different signals to the floppy. That way the equipment manufacturer is able to choose how to configure a floppy for the proper purpose. These adjustments are made by moving miniature switches, called jumpers (in some floppies like Sony and Panasonic – using switches).
Troubleshooting
When the emulator is connected properly, with the USB flash drive inserted, the emulator should display: 00-99 / 000-999 / DSKA0000-DSKA0099
Incorrectly attached data cable
One of the most common mistakes is when you try to connect the data cable.
Shifted data cable
The cable can be shifted while connecting. This can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. And Figure 3 shows a properly connected cable.
