IBM started using the 720 kB double density 3.5" microfloppy disk on its Convertible laptop computer and the 1.44 MB high density version with the PS/2 line in 1986. In 1984, IBM introduced the 1.2 MB dual sided floppy disk along with its AT model. The 5 1/4 inch format displaced the 8-inch one for most applications, and the hard sectored disk format disappeared. There were competing floppy disk formats, with hard and soft sector versions and encoding schemes such as FM, MFM and GCR. By 1978 there were more than 10 manufacturers producing such FDDs. In 1976, Shugart Associates introduced the first 5¼-inch FDD. These disks and associated drives were produced and improved upon by IBM and other companies such as Memorex, Shugart Associates, and Burroughs Corporation.The term "floppy disk" appeared in print as early as 1970,and although in 1973 IBM announced its first media as "Type 1 Diskette" the industry continued to use the terms "floppy disk" or "floppy". The earliest floppy disks, invented in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (200 mm) in diameter they became commercially available in 1971. While floppy disk drives still have some limited uses, especially with legacy industrial computer equipment, they have been superseded by data storage methods with much greater capacity, such as USB flash drives, portable external hard disk drives, optical discs, memory cards, and computer networks. Invented by IBM, floppy disks in 3.5-inch (89 mm), 5.25-inch (133 mm) and 8-inch (200 mm) forms were an ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange from the mid-1970s to the 2000s. They are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).
