The machine of disks and floppies in ComputerCraft were put in version 1.2. The way they work and communicate with the computers is much like the way they works within the real life with this real computers: There is a Disk Drive that we are in a position to insert removable disks (or floppies) which we are in a position to place data upon, which, consequently, makes data portable. This brings much possibility of items like servers running ComputerCraft and users of this server wanting to distribute their software for in-game currency.
The Fir.42 update enables floppies to become colored with any type of dye. This is accomplished by placing a floppy along with a dye inside your crafting table.

Usage
Like individual computers, each floppy disk features its own folder that contains the information that's within that floppy and it is easily movable from inside the computers in Minecraft while using simple UNIX-like instructions for example clubpenguin (copy) or mv (move). Much like elsewhere inside a computer, you may create, edit, move, copy, etc. any files and achieve this however you want.
To insert a floppy right into a Disk Drive so you can use it, right-click on the disk drive and put the floppy in to the slot towards the top of the drive's inventory menu.
Getting together with Computers
Whenever a disk is placed right into a disk drive that's next to a pc, a directory is seen within the computer's root directory entitled 'disk'. If another disk is placed right into a different drive that's also linked to a pc then that next directory is titled 'disk2' and thus-on for every additional disk that's placed and connected.
