Using the 3.5-Inch Diskette Drive

The Model H80 has a 1.44MB diskette drive installed vertically in the front.

The 1.44MB diskette drive can format, read, and write diskettes compatible with the
following diskettes:

1.0MB diskettes with 720KB formatted data capacity

2.0MB diskettes with 1.44MB formatted data capacity (HD)

Format the diskette according to its specified capacity.

Write-Protecting 3.5-Inch Diskettes

Write-protecting diskettes is necessary so that important information is not
accidentally lost.

When diskettes are write-protected, you can read information from the diskettes, but
you cannot write information onto them.

There is a write-protect tab on the 3.5-inch diskette.

To locate the write-protect tab, turn the diskette over with the label facing down.

To prevent writing onto a diskette, slide the write-protect tab to open the protect
slot, as shown in the following illustration.
