Using the Diskette Drive
Selecting Diskettes
The diskette drive, which is housed in the computer MultiBay,
reads and writes information onto a 3.5-inch diskette.
The MultiBay also accommodates an optional LS-120 Drive or
Zip Drive.
Each drive accepts the following diskettes:
Type of Drive Diskettes accepted
Diskette Drive 1.44-MB high-density (HD)
720-Kbyte double-density (DD)
1.2-MB Japanese format
LS-120 Drive 120-MB SuperDisk
1.44-MB high-density (HD)
720-Kbyte double-density (DD)
Zip Drive 100-MB Zip Disk
Inserting a Diskette
Hold the diskette by the edge where the label is affixed. Insert the
diskette, label facing up, into the diskette drive until it clicks into
place.
If the diskette is inserted correctly, it drops into position inside the
drive and the diskette drive button pops out.
Removing a Diskette
To remove a diskette, push the diskette drive button. After the
diskette is ejected, gently pull it from the drive.
