Turn the locking lever one-quarter turn counter-clockwise to
disengage the drive mechanism. The diskette is ejected halfway

Write- A floppy disk can be write-protected by covering the small
protecting notch in the edge of the disk envelope with a self-adhesive tab
a floppy disk (such tabs are typically supplied with new floppy disks). With
the tab in this position, you can read or print files from the disk,

Using the SLCD CD-ROM drive
Your Apricot XEN may be configured with an SLCD CD-ROM
drive. The SLCD drive requires an additional drive controller
expansion card.
The software required to control the SLCD drive depends on
your operating environment; see the Apricot Help provided
with your computer or ask your Apricot supplier for details.
With the appropriate software support, the SLCD drive can
retrieve multimedia data from CD-ROM discs and multisession
Photo-CD discs. It can also play commercial audio CDs. By
default, the drive spins at double normal speed except when
reading audio CDs.
