Usage Note
Disquete is the standard Spanish term for the magnetic floppy disk that was ubiquitous in computing through the 1990s. It is now largely obsolete in practice, though the icon persists as a universal 'save' symbol. Also spelled disket. The larger 5.25-inch format was disco flexible and the 3.5-inch one was commonly the disquete.
Examples
