Do not write on the plastic jacket with a lead pencil or ball point pen. Use
a felt tip pen.
5.
Heat and contamination from a carelessly dropped ash can damage the disk.
6.
Do not expose ................diskettes to excessive heat or sunlight.
7.
Do not touch or attempt to clean the disk surface. Abrasions may cause loss
of stored data.
With MP-B and MP-B2 motherboards the disk unit uses the ENABLE line from I/0
position 5 as a control line. Care should be exercised when using I/0 slot 5 for
other devices.
IMPORTANT: Do not power the computer or disk units on or off while diskette
are installed in the drives with the doors closed. Doing so may destroy any or all
the data stored on the diskette(s).
IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
If your disk unit fails to operate properly we suggest that you first go back
and double check all programming and installation steps. An improperly installed or
incorrectly programmed board can cause anything from intermittent operation to no
operation at all. Also if your system diskette has been damaged the unit will not
function properly. If the drive 0 select light does not come on and/or the drive
motors do not start, then a hardware problem should be suspected. Service of the
minifloppy disk unit should be left to competent technical personnel.
