ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL OPERATION
protected regardless of the PROTECT switch.
Located next to the PROTECT switch is a small
LED which, when on, indicates that the diskette
is currently write-protected. This LED reflects
write-protecting due to the switch or a tab on
the diskette. An Elite drive will only permit
writing on a diskette when this LED is off.
Due to the fact that the Elite Series drives
were designed to operate identically to the Disk
II drives in every way, the PROTECT LED will
flicker whenever the Elite drive is seeking its
read/write head from track to track and the
drive is not in a write—protected state. This
flickering is completely normal, and accurately
reflects the write-protect status on both the
Elite One and Disk II during head movement.
2 . 2 . Recommended Diskettes
There are any number of diskette manufacturers
on the market, each offering the “perfectly
engineered” diskette. We do not intend to dis-
pute any individual claim to this title.
However, in the jungle of literature there are
certain features which should be sought out.
With the vast amount of technical data involved,
it is not easy to locate the vital information.
There are a number of industry-standard tests
which manufacturers will refer to with pride
(assuming their product passes the tests) and
these are useful pointers.
