Using diskettes
To use diskettes, you must connect the external USB diskette drive
to the USB port on the right side of the computer, or to the LAN
Port Replicator or optional Multimedia Port Replicator. See
“Using the external USB diskette drive” on page 106 for more
information.
Inserting and removing diskettes
1
Insert a diskette into the insertion slot until it clicks in place.
A protective flap inside the drive’s insertion slot automatically
retracts when you insert a diskette.
The diskette-in-use light glows when the computer is
accessing a diskette.
2
Push the diskette eject button to remove a diskette from the
drive.
Copying documents to a diskette
Diskettes provide an easy means of transferring files from one
computer to another. Copying a file to a diskette also gives you a
backup copy in case something happens to the original on your
hard disk. This section describes how to use the My Computer
window to copy a file from the hard disk to a diskette.
To copy files to a diskette:

Connect the external USB diskette drive to the computer.
