1. c - Driver Compatibility

2. No.

3. Knowing those guys have been here forever, i have to say IBM

4. The beginning is owed to Cassattes, ala Commodore 64, first removable Disk though, was introduced by Apple in 1978, it was called the Disk II.

4= In 1963, IBM introduced the removable disk pack drive,
I know i cant enter again,
but this is a point to anyone whos post it

6 = As the disc diameter shrinks, the linear velocity is reduced,
so I am right about number 6
