Operating the Apricot XEN
Chapter 3
Removing Before attempting to remove a diskette, ensure that the drive
a diskette is not currently in use (the diskette activity indicator must be
unlit).
Press the E
JECT
button. The drive mechanism disengages and
the diskette is ejected halfway out of the drive.
Write- A diskette can be write-protected by sliding the small tab toward
protecting the edge of the diskette to expose the little hole beneath it (as
a diskette shown below). With the tab in this position, you can read or
print files from the diskette, but you cannot create, rename or
delete any files.

Using the 5.25" floppy disk drive
Your Apricot XEN may be configured with a 5.25" floppy disk
drive. This drive can read and write double-sided disks with a
formatted capacity of either 1.2 Mbytes (if marked “HD” or
“high density”) or 360 Kbytes (if marked “DD” or “double
density”).
Each floppy disk is sealed into a flexible plastic envelope with a
long, rounded aperture through which the read/write heads of
the disk drive can meet the disk surface. You must never touch
the exposed surface of the disk yourself.
Keep floppy disks well away from dust, moisture, magnetic
objects, and equipment that generates magnetic fields. Also,
avoid extremes of temperature and exposure to direct sunlight.
Otherwise, data recorded on the disk may become corrupted.
