ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for displaying filename information on a floppy disk is disclosed. The apparatus utilizes a modified floppy disk housing and a modified floppy disk drive to automatically label the floppy disk with the filenames being copied to or deleted from the disk. The modified floppy disk housing includes an apparatus for visually displaying information indicative of the data stored on the floppy disk when the floppy disk is not inserted in a floppy disk drive. The apparatus on the floppy disk has a receiving device, adapted to reside on the floppy disk, for receiving digital data representing information indicative of the data stored on the floppy disk, a logic/memory device, adapted to reside on the floppy disk and coupled to the receiving device, for processing and storing the received digital data, and an LCD display, adapted to reside on the floppy disk and coupled to the logic/memory device, for receiving and displaying the digital signal representing the processed digital data such that information indicative of the data stored on the floppy disk can be viewed when the floppy disk is not inserted in a disk drive.
