Your 3.5-inch drive can:
•
Read, write, and format 3.5-inch, high-density disks. This
type of disk stores up to 1.44 MB of data.
•
Read, write, and format 3.5-inch, double-density disks.
This type of disk stores up to 720 KB of data.
The capability of a 5.25-inch floppy drive depends on whether it
is high-density or low-density:
•
The high-density drive can read, write, and format 5.25-
inch, high-density disks. This type of disk stores up to 1.2
MB of data.
•
Either type of drive can read, write, and format 5.25-inch,
double-density disks. This type of disk stores up to 360
KB of data. Data written on a 360-KB disk in a high-
density drive may not be readable in a double-density
drive.
Floppy disks are designed so that you can easily insert one into
the computer when you need it, and then remove it when you
are finished with it. With the 3.5-inch drive, simply insert the
disk; push the button on the drive to eject the disk. If you install
a 5.25-inch drive, insert a disk and then flip the drive lever down
to lock the disk in place; flip the lever up again to remove the
disk.
A light near the floppy disk drive opening (Figure 7) comes on
when the computer reads from or writes to a floppy disk.
Do not remove a disk or turn the system off when this
light is on – you may damage the disk and its data.

User’s Guide.
