Personal computer data storage card and method for transferring information between the data storage card and personal computers

A method of storing and retrieving data from a personal computer data card inserted into a personal computer comprising the steps of:

• (a) affixing a second layer of a magnetic medium to a first side of a first layer of a semi-rigid substrate;
• (b) affixing a third layer of protective material to said second layer such that said protective material permits access to data on said magnetic medium of said second layer;
• and
• (c) storing and retrieving data from said magnetic medium of said second layer in response to said personal computer rotating said card about an axis perpendicular to said first side and passing through said card to enable said personal computer to manipulate said magnetic medium of said second layer.

A personal computer data card for insertion into an adapter for placement within a personal computer to permit data to be transferred between the personal computer and the card, said card comprising:

• a first layer of a semi-rigid substrate;
• a second layer of a magnetic medium affixed to a first side of said first layer for exchanging data with said personal computer in response to said personal computer rotating said card relative to said adapter to enable said personal computer to manipulate said magnetic medium;
• and
• a third layer of protective material affixed to said second layer and permitting access by said personal computer to data on said magnetic medium of said second layer.
