The following definitions are taken from the &quot;Dictionary of Computer Terms,&quot; 2nd Edition, by Barron's:

Soft-sectored -- When a soft-sectored disk is formatted, the computer writes a magnetic pattern onto the disk to mark the boundaries of each sector.

Double-sided -- When a double-sided disk has a magnetic coating on both sides and therefore can have data stored on both sides.
