10.1.3 Using a Floppy Disk
• Inserting a floppy disk upside down, backwards or in the wrong direction may
damage the device.
• Do not remove the floppy disk or disconnect the USB cable while the LED of
the floppy disk drive is lit. Doing so may damage data on the floppy disk.
• To avoid damage to the floppy disk drive, be sure to remove the floppy disk
before shipping.
• Place the floppy disk drive on a flat surface where it will not be subject to vibra-
tion.
• Use a floppy disk in an environment with a temperature of 5 to 40°C.
• A 2DD (640 KB) or 2HD (1.2 MB) floppy disk that was formatted on a PC-9801
cannot be used.
• The number of bytes available depends on the floppy disk type.
• Disable write protection before inserting a floppy disk. Saving cannot be per-
