down your PowerBook. Store all your SuperDisk diskettes in the
protective case when not in use.
Emergency Diskette Ejection

under normal circumstances. If you lose power to your system, you must
remove a diskette in the following manner.

clip may damage the SuperDisk drive.

when the computer is without power. Do not try to forcibly remove a
diskette from the drive. If the diskette does not eject immediately, repeat
the emergency eject procedure.
