5.Find out how many parts are there in a floppy disk? Suppose a 3.5 inches floppy disk contained 80 tracks, each of which is divided into sectors capable of holding 512 characters. How many characters will the disk hold if each track is divided into 9 sectors? What if each track contains 18 sectors? How does these capacities compare to the size of 400-page novel in which each page contains 3500 characters?

Fundamentals of Input and Output Performance

The I/O subsystem is a component of computer system design that uses buses to assist communication between the Central Processing Unit, Computer Memory/Storage, and Input and Output Devices (that is known as peripheral devices). The I/O subsystem includes disc controllers, tape drives, discs, system buses, and other devices. The I/O database application reads and writes drives using the operating system windows I/O.
