View source for CF2 Compact Floppy Disc

[[Category:DATA Storage]]
The 3" discs for the [[Amstrad Disk Drive]] are called '''CF2''' (Compact Floppy Disc). CF2 discs were produced by [[AMSOFT]], MAXELL, [[Schneider]], Panasonic. In late eighties, cheaper Noname discs were also available (although these were rather unreliable).

Capacity is 180 Kbytes per side (the discs can be flipped to access the other side, giving a total of 360 Kbytes per disc).

(This article, [[:File:Amstrad Computer User8504 072.jpg]], also mentions something called Hitachi HFD-2 discs.)
