accessible areas. There are 80 tracks on each side of a double-
sided 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 720KB diskette and 40 tracks on each
side of a double-sided 360KB diskette. The number of tracks on
a hard disk depends on its capacity.

Video card
A display adapter card that can be installed in one of the

a write-protect tab over the notch on the side of a 5¼-inch

change, or record over its contents.
