Installing the Floppy Disk Drive

The floppy disk drive is designed for mounting on the rear panel of the Touch Display unit. Two locating slots in the rear panel accept the two metal brackets on the disk drive housing. A thumbscrew fastens the drive assembly to the rear panel. A ribbon cable, terminated with a D-type connector, extends from the disk drive to the floppy disk connector at the side of the unit.
