ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL OPERATION
The best diskettes are those which give the most
trouble—free recording, storage, and retrieval of
information for the longest period of time. Look
for those incorporating features which lead to
minimum head abrasion and which shield the
diskette from environmental hazards (like dust
particles) in a strong, durable jacket.
The following table illustrates a number of
diskette manufacturers which Rana Systems has
found produce consistently high quality media.
For advice on diskette care and handling turn to
the section later in this manual headed Mainte—
nance.
The following tables of diskettes include both
soft and hard sectored diskettes. If you are
familiar with diskettes required by non-Apple
systems, this may puzzle you. Don’t worry, the
tables are correct. Apple uses a kind of “no
sector” format in which the index hole(s) punched
in the diskette (which is the difference between
soft and hard sectored diskettes) is completely
ignored.
