1.) FAT12 and FAT16 had a limit of 8 characters for the file name
and 3 characters for the size.

2.) The general approach of file sharing is to provide controlled

access to files through a set of operations such as read, write,

3.) A device that can receive data and retain it for subsequent
retrieval is called magnetic tape.

4.) A typical disk pack comprises of 5 disks held on a central spindle.

5.) The disk pack is loaded onto the drive and revolves at normal speed of
approximately 3800 rpm when being accessed.

6.) Serial Files are stored in alphabetical order, that is as each record is
received it is stored in the next available storage position.

7.) The Serial Organization means that the records are in NO

PARTICULAR ORDER and therefore to retrieve a single record, the whole
file needs to be read from the beginning to end.

8.) Basic Index is a type of index gives a location of all possible records
(keys) whether they exist or not.

17.) Indexed Sequential file organization is logically not the same as

sequential organization.

18.) Sequential files are serial files whose records are sorted & stored in an
ascending or descending on a particular key field.

19.) Serial organization is usually the method used for creating unsorted,
word & Dump files.
