The SuperDisk Drive Pack can be used to access both SuperDisks and standard floppy
disks. (It may take about 30 minutes to format the SuperDisk. Because of this, be sure
to disable the power saving function beforehand so as not to enter the power saving
mode while formatting the SuperDisk.)
Formatting the disk
CAUTION
An error may occur later in the process of formatting a write-protected medium.
To prevent this, be sure to format the medium after confirming beforehand that the
write-protect state has been changed.

When MS-Backup is executed, the message "No Controller board detected" may
