Formatting a diskette
Before you can use a diskette to save your work, you must prepare
the diskette for use by formatting it.
Acclaim 300 formats disks with MS DOS format and file structure.
Because of this, you can use an IBM-compatible computer copy
Acclaim 300 disks.
Warning: Formatting a diskette erases any information already
recorded on the diskette. Before you format a diskette, be sure that it
is blank, or that you do not want to save the information it contains.
The formatting process interrupts all console functions. Channels that
are live when formatting begins remain live, but fades are stopped in
progress and all other controls are disabled.

1. Insert a standard 3.5-inch, 720K diskette in the
