ABSTRACT:
A coupler of the present invention advantageously renders the read/write head of a diskette drive of a computer a data transfer port and preferably an input/output port suitable for connection with a peripheral device. The coupler includes a data transfer element, preferably a read/write element for transferring data by coupling with the read/write head of the diskette drive. The coupler includes a suitable arrangement for connecting the data transfer element with a peripheral device thus expanding the applications of the diskette drive. The coupler is sized for receipt in the diskette drive and preferably places the stationary data transfer element in a position relative to the read/write head of the diskette drive to allow data transfer therebetween when activated and said coupler is received in the diskette drive.
