Usage Notes for LS120/LS240 Superdisks
The LS120/LS240 drive automatically recognizes the different floppy disk types.
Due to their higher storage capacity, Superdisks are more sensitive to dirt,
temperature and shock than conventional disks.
Notice
In order to achieve a reliable operation and high data security, please note the
following during use:
•
Store and transport the Superdisk in the protective cassette included to keep
dust and dirt from the disk.
•
Remove Superdisk from the drive when it is not being read or written to keep
dirt particles away from the disk. Do not expose the disk unnecessarily to high
operating temperatures.
Notice
If possible avoid vibration of the device, when using Superdisks. Superdisks are
more sensitive to vibration as a result of their high track density.
