Keep floppy disks well away from dust, moisture, magnetic
objects, and equipment that generates magnetic fields. Also,
avoid extremes of temperature and exposure to direct
sunlight. Otherwise, data recorded on the disk may become
corrupted.
Inserting a floppy disk
Insert the disk into the drive slot with the read/write aperture
foremost. When the disk is fully inserted, turn the locking lever
one-quarter turn clockwise to engage the drive mechanism.
Removing a floppy disk
Before attempting to remove a disk, ensure that the drive is
not currently in use (the drive’s LED must be unlit).
Turn the locking lever one-quarter turn counter-clockwise to
disengage the drive mechanism. The diskette is ejected halfway
out of the drive.
Write-protecting a floppy disk
A floppy disk can be write-protected by covering the small
notch in the edge of the disk envelope with a self-adhesive
tab (such tabs are typically supplied with new floppy disks).
With the tab in this position, you can read or print files from
the disk, but you cannot create, rename or delete any files.
