Using diskettes
The 3.5-inch diskette drive, which fits in the Modular Bay,
lets you use either double-density (720 KB) or high-density
(1.44 MB) diskettes for data transfer and storage.

The Modular Bay light blinks when the diskette drive is in
use.
Inserting and removing diskettes
1
Hold the diskette so that the arrow on its upper surface
points toward the drive.
2
Push the diskette gently into the drive slot on the left side
of the computer. When the diskette is in place, the eject
button pops out.
To release a diskette from the drive, push the eject button.
CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the computer
while the light is glowing. Doing so could destroy data and
damage the diskette or the drive.
