What type of diskette do I use in my diskette drive?
Your NEC Versa DayLite/UltraLite ships with an external 1.44-MB USB
diskette drive that uses 3.5-inch high density (HD) diskettes. These diskettes are also
called double-sided, high-density (DSHD) diskettes. You can store 1.44 MB of
information on these diskettes.

data that 1.44-MB diskettes hold.
