Disk Drive

Phydaux: wikify

The disk drive arrived with the [[ComputerCraft]] 1.2 update and with that also came [[Floppy Disk]]s. The disk drive is an object that, when placed adjacently but not diagonally next to a [[computer]], does the same as a disk drive for real computers in the real world would do: they allow the access to portable data storage devices ([[Floppy Disk]]s).[[File:CR4mm.png|frame|right|The recipe for a disk drive.]]

== Usage ==
To use a disk drive, place it adjacently but not diagonally next to a computer (left, right, top, bottom, front, or back side). Insert a disk by right-clicking on the disk drive and placing the disk in the slot above the inventory.[[File:DiskDriveGUI.png|thumb|350px|GUI of the Disk Drive]]

== API ==
See [[Disk (API)]] for the disk API.

Floppy Disk

Phydaux: wikify

The system of disks and floppies in [[ComputerCraft]] were added in version 1.2. How they work and interact with the [[computer]]s is very similar to how they would work in the real world with our real computers: There's a [[Disk Drive]] that we're able to insert removable disks (or floppies) which we're able to place data upon, which, in turn, makes data portable. This brings much potential for things such as servers running ComputerCraft and users of that server wishing to distribute their software for in-game currency.[[File:Wwc1P.png|frame|right|The recipe for a floppy disk.]]

== Usage ==
Like individual computers, each floppy disk has its own folder containing the data that is within that floppy and is easily movable from within the computers in Minecraft using the simple UNIX-like commands such as cp (copy) or mv (move). Just like anywhere else in a computer, you can create, edit, move, copy, etc., any files and do so however you wish.

To insert a floppy into a disk drive so it can be used, right-click the disk drive and place the floppy into the slot at the top of the drive's inventory menu.

== Interacting with Computers ==
When a disk is inserted into a disk drive that is in a block and is adjacently (but not diagonally) connected to a computer, a directory is visible in the computer's root directory titled 'disk'. If another disk is inserted into a different drive that is also connected to a computer then that next directory is entitled 'disk2' and so-on for each additional disk that is inserted and connected.

Turtle

Phydaux: Wikify

Turtles are essentially robots, and were added in the 1.3 update. They run an OS (like the [[Computer]]s) named [[TurtleOS]]. They have the ability to place blocks, break blocks, move around, detect blocks, and drop items in their inventory. The programs they run are stored on [[Floppy Disk|floppy disks]].

If you would like to know more about how to program them, have a look at the [[Turtle (API)|Turtle API]].

==Floppy Disks==
Turtles do not have a built-in [[Disk Drive|floppy drive]]. As such they need a floppy drive placed next to them to access disks.

==Fuel==
Turtles have been equipped with a state of the art quantum ionizing engine. This means that, once given fuel (the redstone used to craft them), they do not need to be re-charged, nor do any fuel cells need to be replaced, likewise they don't need to have external power directed to them either.
