設けられた窓の有無を検出したり、２００ｍｍフロッピ
ーディスクのようにインデックス孔位置の違いを検出す
る方法が用いられている。Conventionally, in this type of disc type determination method, for example,
A method is used to detect the presence or absence of a window provided in a disk case as in the case of a 90 mm floppy disk, or to detect a difference in index hole position as in the case of a 200 mm floppy disk.
