Apple 2 Floppy Disk Codes - Computerphile

From the creator

Steve Wozniak got creative with the Apple ][ floppy drive, creating a system that used less complicated hardware and was cheaper, accomplishing much in software instead. Dr Steve Bagley explains. The graphic showing where sector holes were read is incorrect. Sector hole was seen where Dr Bagley showed. Earlier 8 inch floppy disks had different standards for hard sector disks, some at the hub, some near the outside of the disk- which is what the graphic was trying to illustrate.
